As you said, you would require to use the upstream clutter version, or try to load cally. Anyway, as in the case on gnome-shell, having clutter with accessibility support is just the first step. It would be also required to load the atk-bridge module.

First, make sure you have the ubuntu-desktop package installed. Once installed, make sure you have an accessible gdm login, i.e you have speech available at login. Once you do, log out/restart, and get to the login screen. Select the user you want to log in as, then navigate to the bottom panel, where you will find an option to select the login session. There you want to choose GNOME. Luke -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Unity and Orca?
I'm seeing the same problem with unity and orca. Accessibility is great once you get into a program, but getting there is another thing. Is there a way to remove unity and go back to a two-pannel configuration like on the desktop, or the netbook interface available in Lucid? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. One thing I considered was to go to the keyboard shortcuts menu and set up shortcuts for commonly used apps. Thanks in advance for the help.

I tried using orca with unity a week or so back, and I can tell you that it doesn't work, for the vast majority of the unity shell. Such pieces as indicator menus for sound/session, and network manager are accessible, however you can only get to them with the mouse. If you were to open nautilus, you can navigate files/do whatever you can do normally within that nautilus window. Shortcut keys for opening the terminal still exist, and the terminal is accessible, but thats it. Unity uses the clutter toolkit, which is getting accessibility support upstream, but the version in maverick has no accessibility support. I am not sure what the plans are for Natty.
