Hy,

Now, have Oneiric related with the following opened bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724369

Prewious not ready the Indicator Applet porting with GNOME3, so not 
awailable in GNOME3 fallback session the oldest Natty awailable 
Indicator applets.
I see this bugreport a possibility.
If you add your Oneiric system with ppa:jconti/gnome3 repository with 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jconti/gnome3 command, and install 
indicator-applet-complete package after you updated the awailable 
sources with sudo apt-get update command, after you add any panel the 
indicator related applet again possible using awailable indicators if 
you press Super+S keystroke.
I tryed this applet, and found following issue:
Everi indicators is accessible with keyboard usage, but similar with 
Natty prewious awailable indicators, some main categories not have yet 
textual descriptions, this situation Orca spokening only "menu" role 
name. Some submenu items only silent menu items, I think a good example 
with the sound related indicator awailable menu item after the mute item 
if I remember right.
Prewious very missed me this complete indicator applet my GNOME3 
fallback session with my Oneiric system.

If anybody interesting an other indicator possibility, an another 
interesting indicator is awailable for Unity, the name is Classic menu 
indicator:

Installation description:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-classicmenu-indicator-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot.html

I tryed this indicator. This indicator shows every applications menu 
awailable groups right, but I think the oldest places and system menu 
items of course not awailable.
