Re: [orca-list] Installing gnome and switching from unity to gnome3 in Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04?

[Krishnakant mane <krmane gmail com>]

I would just be interested to know if the said gnome classic is based on gnome3?
If yes then it will be great for many people who wish to good old gnome style menus with the advantages of 
latest Orca.
This way we won't need to have a seperate xdesktop version.
Is this right?
Happy hacking.
