Re: [orca-list] most accessible desktop with orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Mate is basically gnome2 just updated to use newer stuff under the hood and to have good compatibility with 
current standards. 
I do not understand how you say you got gnome shell when you installed it. 
You will not have accessible panels with lxde and xfce, so no sys trayish stuff, indicators or applets, but 
you will get gnome2 style applications 
menus. 
If panel was accessible I'd use XFCE, but it's not, and as I've said here, and I think to you off list no 
work is being done to fix the accessiblity 
issues as far as I know. I've not talked to devs in some months, but I think they'd hit a wall, and until 
someone steps up to help them they will 
probably not be making anything more speech friendly.
Gnome is very access,ble, but I can see how you might not like it. Many people do, many others do not, and it 
is very different both in practice and 
theory than interfaces like gnome2, XFCE or Mate.
