Unity and Orca?

[Guy Schlosser]

  I'm seeing the same problem with unity and orca.  Accessibility is 
great once you get into a program, but getting there is another thing.  
Is there a way to remove unity and go back to a two-pannel configuration 
like on the desktop, or the netbook interface available in Lucid?  Any 
help with this would be greatly appreciated.  One thing I considered was 
to go to the keyboard shortcuts menu and set up shortcuts for commonly 
used apps.  Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks,


Guy

Such pieces as indicator menus for sound/session, and network manager are accessible, however you can only get to them with the mouse. If you were to open nautilus, you can navigate files/do whatever you can do normally within that nautilus window. Shortcut keys for opening the terminal still exist, and the terminal is accessible, but thats it.
