GNOME Shell is accessible, using Orca screen reader, in distros other than Trisquel. When I try GNOME Shell in Trisquel 6, Orca cannot read the top bar, dash, overview, or message areas; apps are still accessible. I have tried the shell in Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Sabayon, and Open Suse. As of 3.8, it's all accessible, though it's very slow on this hardware. In LXDE and XFCE, as packaged in Trisquel 6, the file managers are partially accessible, and the panels are not. The menus and configuration tools for both seem to be accessible. The pcmanfm file manager is more accessible than thunar; when pcmanfm is set to 'detailed list view', orca can read it.
