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.
So is this an enhancement in addition to the old menus?
Typing a filter string is very much like the Unity's launcher I guess?
And if so this means we have the best of all approaches.
Happy hacking.

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.
