Reposting here, I am sorry:
Hi,
thank you very much for your instructions, I was just curious. I will
try the gnome, but I am quite confortable with unity and its quick
searching facilities.
Do I need to compile ATK as well, for AT-SPI to work?
I am almost prepared to try this new LTS as my new production system,
because suport for my 10.10 ended short time ago.

Hy Vojtěch,
Unfortunately only me sent your letter, not the list.
When you want update at-spi2-core package, not use the master branch,
you need using gnome-3-4 branch.
So, when you want compiling at-spi2-core upstream version, you need
run first git checkout gnome-3-4 command in the source tree before you
do general compilation related commands.
I will be test word echo in gnome-terminal, and if need, reporting
this issue in Bugzilla.
For example, I using gnome 3.4 my Precise system without any problems.
You need enabling universe and multiverse repositoryes, and need
installing gnome-session-fallback package.
I oldest time wrote a complete list what can need doing if an user
would like using GNOME3 fallback interface, now little actualized the
instructions:
Switching from Unity Desktop to GNOME3 fallback session in Ubuntu
12.04 (Precise Pangolin)
Installing the GNOME3 fallback session related packages and dependencies
First, you ensure already enabled with the universe and multiverse
repositories.
Default the universe and multiverse repositoryes is not enabled. If
you would like enabling this repositoryes, launch the
software-properties-gtk preference tool, and enable this repositoryes.
You are possible to launch software-properties-gtk preference tool for
example with sudo software-properties-gtk command in gnome-terminal.
If the universe and multiverse repositoryes is enabled, you need
install gnome-session-fallback package. You possible using the
Software Center or Synaptic this purpose, or possible using in
terminal with following command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
Changing the desktop session from Unity to GNOME3 fallback session
This is possible with LightDm, you need choosing GNOME Classic (no
effects) session after you logged out.
Final customizations
When you logged again your system, you already have in the GNOME3
fallback session. Following part containing optional modification
suggestions to prowide the new desktop session with better A11y
experience:
Fixing system menue inaccessibility related problem
Unfortunately GNOME3 developers removed with the old System menue in
the fallback session. Unfortunately, this modification are resulted
visualy impaired users unable to access the importanter functions for
example with the actual username awailable submenue (unable to change
actual user status, launch system settings, log out, switch user, or
shutdown the system.
Now, have only one known workaround to prewent this problem:
1. Press Control+Alt+TAB keystroke, and go to the top extended panel.
2. Delete this panel. Press SHIFT+F10 keystroke, and choose the
Delete this panel.
3. Go to bottom extended panel, and press SHIFT+F10 keystroke. Choose
the create new panel menu item.
4. In the empty panel, you need add the main menu applet, and
optional the Clock, Notification Area applets. This last two
applet is need only if you are not would like using GNOME3 ported
Indicator applets.
This modifications are resulting you an one column menue system. If
you are press ALT+F1 keystroke, you are possible accessing all
importanter menu items. You will be see your username realted
submenue, possible log out, switch user, or shutdown the system with
keyboard usage.
Using indicators under GNOME3 fallback session
This is simple, in Ubuntu 12.04 system you need installing
indicator-applet and indicator-applet-complete packages. After the
packages are installed, go to for example with top extended panel the
CTRL+ALT+TAB keystroke. Press Shift+F10 keystroke, and choose the Add
the panel... menu item.
If you would like using all indicators with a single applet, you need
add the Complete indicators applet with your panel.
After this, when you closing the add panel applet dialog, if you press
SUPER+S keystroke, you possible accessing all oldest time awailable
indicators, similar with Ubuntu Natty classic GNOME session.
This modifications resulted me a very confortable desktop environment.
Be carefuly, when you possible first time logged in in GNOME3 fallback
session, I am not sure default shortcuts are awailable (ALT+F1,
ALT+F2, etc.
