I'll address some of your comments in-line, especially regarding the screen reader.

Though this problem doesn't effect system functionality, it should get fixed; there's no second chance to make a first impression. > > - I tried the screen reader and it seemed to work ok; however, I do not > normally use it and don't know how it normally behaves.

In its default setup, the screen reader does not read tooltips, but5 fan be setup to do so. I don't normally hover the mouse, so, didn't notice how this was set; thanks for testing something I overlooked. > - The screen reader was on by default when I booted up for the first > time (in contrast to David's report); however, I couldn't figure out > how to turn it off in the GUI menu. There normally isn't a way to do this in the main menus; you can do this in system settings->universal access. If this option is missing, that should be corrected. The stand way to kill the screen reader is with the keystroke: 'alt+super+s'. That should work in the login screen as well; will check. I wonder if, instead of automatically activating the screen reader, we play a sound to indicate the desktop is ready? Users can, then, turn the screen reader with the standard keys, or not. > - The screen magnifier seemed to work ok, although I noted similar > behaviour to what Pablo reported, where it stops following the mouse if > you let go of the button outside its window and you have to go back > into its window if you want to 'grab' it again.

I need to get more frequent users of the magnifier to try this, since, I, too, don't know how this is supposed to work. > - Question: why are there two calculators installed by default > (Calculator and galculator)? I can't find the difference, either; anyone else know this one? > - One of the options in the GUI menu is 'Icedove --> Thunderbird', > which seemed to just open Thunderbird, so I'm not sure what the purpose > of that is. Maybe a redundancy made by the build system?
