Hi Thomas,
So looking at the situation as it stands, I get the impression that 
gnome shell is getting quite a lot of attention with respect to 
accessibility.  Is that correct?
And if we were to compare Unity and Gnome shell, I feel gnome shell 3.6 
will be much better in terms of accessibility.
I am using Unity 2d and so far don't have any great problem with it.
We had nautilus problems but I am now using pcmanfm and it is really fast.
But I wish to know if Gnome shell 3.6 will have better accessibility and 
if right now 3.4 is comparatively better or worst than Unity 2d.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
