Re: gnome desktop in 14.04 inaccessible?
Hi, I have another experience. I did: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback and after choose gnome flashback metacity to start up. alt_F1 takes me to the applications menu in the top menu bar and Orca is doing well. The only thing I met is that I cannot get with Orca to the Indicator applet where I can shutdown the machine. I do this by pressing the power button and then a dialog box appear to shutdown the machine. I also did: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and this is quite accessible with Orca.

Re: gnome desktop in 14.04 inaccessible?
Tony, The desktop that comes with ubuntu-gnome-desktop is called gnome-shell. Gnome-shell doesn't have an applications menu like you're used to. When you press alt f1, you are taken to an overview of the windows that you have open. To see your list of applications after pressing alt f1, press control alt tab until you hear dash. When the dash is open, you can use your arrow keys to navigate your list of applications. If you press control alt tab without pressing alt f1 first, you will find an item called the top bar. The top bar replaces the old gnome-2 panels. You can navigate the top bar with the tab key and the arrow keys. Some of the menus on the top bar are sub-menus. To get out of a sub-menu and return to the top bar, press escape. I hope this helps you to better navigate your desktop. If you have anymore questions, feel free to contact me, either on the list or at my email address.
