Hola Jose!
When you run Natty with any of the accessibility profiles, you get
classic Gnome. One way to get Unity, instead, is to run Natty, without
the blindness profile, activate Orca, manually, log out, then log back
in. When Orca restarts, it should announce "Current environment is
Unity". Also, you should be able to set this in "login screen"
preferences. For each user, you can supposedly set the environment to
use. I had a problem, and ended up with a kind of "hybrid" of Gnome and
Unity. Maybe this was due to a Policy Kit crash?
I posted a list of Unity keyboard shortcuts on the Orca, Vinux, and
Ubuntu Accessibility lists. It should also be in the Ubuntu wiki,
perhaps in "accessibility"?
I find that, whether in Unity, or Classic Gnome, Orca is very sluggish.
On some occasions, it would just stop talking, but still be running. All
I could do was wait. There are a lot of crashes, especially in Classic
Gnome. Other than reporting them in Launchpad, I'm not certain what to do.
Best Regards,
Dave H.
