Hy Penelope,
Thank You the tip, I of course have Launchpad account.
If not a big request, can you possible doing this task?
Unfortunately I haven't got enough experiences yet with proper viki page
documents related formattings sintax, and don't would like doing extra
works with documentation correctors.
I will be reading the Wiki page related community documentation if I
have more time, but now have lot of another works with I need finalizing
before december 21th the company with I working.
This wiki page is a wonderful possibility to share all A11y related
informations and workarounds.
I wrote a text with all I used modifications in GNOME3 fallback session,
but possible need correcting my horrible english sentences with
grammaticaly before you uploading this new article with proper wiki
page, because my primary language is hungarian. :-):-)
If you would like, feel free to shortest the documentation.
Hopefuly this detailed text documentation help more users if would like
using GNOME3 fallback session with a better A11y support.

Switching from Unity Desktop to GNOME3 fallback session in Ubuntu 11.10
(Oneiric Ocelot)
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
Because LightDm login screen is not accessible for Orca Screen Reader, you
manual need changing the desktop session. The simplest way is following this
task:
1. Open the terminal with CTRL+ALT+T keystroke.
2. Run sudo gedit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/yourusername command to open
the actual used session related configuration file.
If for example your username is john, the proper path is following:
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/jon
The opened file default containing similar lines:
[User]
XSession=ubuntu-2d
If you would like logging in next time with GNOME3 fallback session, you need
replacing for example the XSession=ubuntu-2d line with XSession=gnome-fallback
line. Save the file, and reboot the system.
Final customizations
When you logged again your system, you already have in the GNOME3 fallback
session. Following part containing optional modification suggestion 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 development version.
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
Unfortunately GNOME3 Indicator Applets porting related works is not finished
before Ubuntu 11.10 development cicle.
GNOME3 ported indicator applets is already awailable with an external PPA
repository. If you would like using the Ubuntu Natty release awailable
indicators under GNOME3 fallback session, you need doing following steps:
1. Open the Terminal with CTRL+ALT+T keystroke.
2. Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jconti/gnome3 command.
3. Run sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete
command.
4. 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.
