Hy Bill,

I agree, if simplest blind end users.
But I think your suggestion need applying the first boot screen, not the 
now presented graphical window after the boot is finished.
For example, now the new boot menu is present, need a shortcut key to 
turn accessibility modes if we want the first graphical window talking 
with Orca. Now, this is not happening if I passed the access=v3 
parameter, need detecting why not working this.
Now, if you dont press a key, what buttons are present when the 
graphical window is displayed? Have this buttons a mnemonic letters? 
Possible navigating this buttons with keyboard?

I think need do a short test if you have a little time:
For example, if you modify the text.cfg file in live CD /isolinux 
directory and add default add access=v3 option in the appendfile= lines, 
what shows the /proc/cmdline file when the live CD ends booting and the 
graphical window is displayed?
You try following:
1. Download a daily live cd.
2. Mount the ISO file with following command:
mount isoname mntdir -o loop
cd mntdir
3. Copy all files from iso file to a work directory after you mount the 
ISO file with following command:
cp -r * workdiryouwanttoput the ISO contents
cp -r .disk workdiryouwanttoput the ISO contents
4. Change directory the work directory.
5. Edit the isolinux/text.cfg file, and modify it like following, only 
we need modify now append file lines:
append  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper 
initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet access=v3 splash --
6. When you done, save the file and need regenerate to new ISO file with 
following command:
mkisofs -r -V "Bill ISO" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c 
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o 
~/live.iso .

Burn the new ISO, and try it without not press any key.
When the first graphical GNOME window is displayed, try switch console 
for example with Ctrl+Alt+F1, and loog what command line parameters 
passed to /proc/cmdline file.
The access=v3 parameter is passed before not clicking any button you the 
graphical window?
