Re: [orca-list] ubuntu 13.04

I agree with you that there are accessibility issues with Ubuntu 13.04, 
but I don't think the lack of menus for Accessories, Graphics, Sounds 
and so on is an accessibility issue. It's not like sighted users have 
access to those menus but blind users don't. It may be something you 
don't like with Unity, but it's not an accessibility issue. BTW, in 
Vinux there's an indicator which gives you the same menu structure 
you're talking about. Maybe this indicator would do the same thing in 
Ubuntu 13.04.
