When ou use Gnome classic, you get the old-fashioned menus, like 'places',
'accessories', 'internet', 'sound and media', etc. a press of 'super+d'
will minimize all apps, and put your on the desktop, which is just another
folder under Gnome 3. For setting system preferences, you'll still use
the gnome-control-center app; it's 'system settings' in Trisquel 5.5. I
like having all these settings grouped in this way. Typing a filter
string will show you only the icons with matching names.

Hi Thomas,
I have a little confusion when talking about Gnome3.
I wish to know if we set the default to Gnome3, do we get the gnome shell or
the old time menu of application, places and system like in Gnome2?
What is exactly Gnome classic?
Happy hacking.

Hi,
Well, I think the accessibility issues in beta 2 are temporary. As long as
we file bugs with launchpad and let them know what has happened they should
be able to correct the problem as access was working with beta 1 fairly
well. Assuming they fix said bugs I'll probably switch to Unity 2D as the
access we had a few days ago was acceptable if not exceptional.
Even if they don't fix Unity 2D its not the end of the world. Gnome 3 is
working decently and it is a fairly simple matter to install and configure
Gnome for Ubuntu 12.04. Just set your default desktop to gnome-classic and
you are in business.
Cheers!

This is very serious and I think Canonical is really letting us down.
It seems they are not as serious about accessibility as they used to be.
I won't download the beta2 in this case.
Actually I am in some rural part of India and bandwidth is not good enough
for downloading the ISO.
That's why I asked for the review and if this is what it comes to then I
think I and many others will have to give up Ubuntu unless these crutial
things are taken care of.
I guess many blind users had infact liked Unity2d and were prepared to
shift.
But if accessibility is really broken to this extent then I wonder what to
expect.
I have a daily build of Ubuntu 12.04 on a pen drive and it really works so
well that I was hoping to use a very accessible desktop from this summer.
Hope this is taken care of soon before the release.
It gives me a feeling that this is a very trivial issue for the developers
of Unity to solve, because it was all working perfectly just a few days
back.
Happy hacking.
