Re: [orca-list] Trying Quantal Quetsal Alpha 3

Hi Krishnakant,

Regarding Gnome-Shell 3.6 I'm absolutely the wrong person to ask. I am
still running 3.4.x.  However, I would assume since both Orca 3.6 has
a number of accessibility updates and there are some accessibility
improvements in Gnome-Shell 3.6 it will be better than 3.4.

Now, regarding Gnome 3.4 and Unity 2D I'd say Unity 2D is the better
desktop environment in terms of accessibility. Gnome-Shell is
functionally accessible but there are accessibility issues that can be
irritating such as the power status, wi-fi, and a few other things
that need to be fixed in 3.6.

Cheers!
