Hi,
I'm using gnome 3 fallback on Ubuntu 11.10, and accessibility with Orca.
I think, with the latest orca, at-spi core and components, libreoffice
3.5, applications based on Mozilla Gecko 9 or 10, and the panel applets
found in ppa:jconti/gnome3, accessibility is as good as the
best-possible gnome 2.32 has to offer. That is, if someone can make the
latest lightdm or gdm as accessible as the previous. In Ubuntu 11.10,
lightdm is not accessible. Since I am the only user on this machine,
this matters little, but, maybe it's fixed in 12.04?
Cheers,
Dave Hunt

Those earlier comments regarding Gnome 3 Fallback are because quidam was
not aware of how to modify the fallback panel. On 29 January, in IRC, we
explained to him how this can be done. He has since stated there that
because the panel can actually be changed, Gnome 3 Fallback is a viable
alternative. Since then he has been experimenting with Gnome 3 Fallback
using, amongst other things, grvrulz's theme.
The last I heard (2 weeks ago) was that he was not sure about
accessibility, specifically with GTK3 Orca and GTK2 applications. At the
moment that seems to be the only possible issue with Gnome 3 Fallback.
If accessibility turns out to not be an issue, then Gnome 3 Fallback
will most likely be the DE.
