Re: [orca-list] gnome-flashback is very good

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

Yes, it certainly works fine from an accessiblity stand point, and thus is a viable option. 
I would like to play devil's advocate as I often do however.
The main reason I greatly prefer and recommend mate over this is the greater configuration flexability out of 
the box, i.e. as I've stated before 
gnome-tweaktool is required to get at some pretty basic configuration options, and stil leaves one without 
the level of control that many users would 
prefer.
I also assume that memory and cpu usage are similar to, and probably not lower than with standard gnome 
although I've never done side by side testing 
where everything else is as equal as possible.
Gnome has it's own strengths of course, so assuming the things I mention above are not of primary importance 
to a user gnome flashback may be just the 
ticket for her or him. 
I guess the most important take away from this in my opinion is that we are indeed in a comparatively good 
situation compared with a few years ago, and 
of course compared with folks who use one of those other OSs in the sense that we have a few nicely 
accessible graphical interfaces, and a few more 
options that while missing some important accessiblity are quite usable with relatively trivial 
modification/configuration.
I'm still  fantasizing about an accessiblity hit squad that could come in and deal with the major remaining 
accessiblity issues in those mostly 
accessible Desktops, e.g. panels in XFCE and LXDE.
