Re: [orca-list] sonar now using lxde

hello peter,

to make the desktop accessible press alt f2 and type gnome-tweak-tool.

press tab and then arrow up to desktop. then press tab on desktop and
you will see a checkbox for the file manager to handle desktop
switching. press spacebar on this and you can tab through to see other
options. This will make the desktop accessible. Also after this you
might need to press alt f2 again and type nautilus. This will bring you
to the home folder once you close nautilus you will see the icons for
home,computer and trash. The reason for this is I can't figure out how
to make nautilus run at startup. This is one of the reasons why it is a
beta release.
