So this is what we all hoped and it is the best that could happen in the 
recent times.
Thanks for coordinating this and getting it done.
I see more and more progress happening with Ubuntu and Unity 2d for 
accessibility.
Can I just update my existing installation on 4th april to get the same 
effect, or is it necessary to actualy download the new daily build?
Happy hacking.

I'm happy to report that I have reproduced the bug, and have also found a fix. This fix should be in the next daily build of Ubuntu 12.04, which is to be the April 4, 2012 build. If people could please download this daily build, enable Orca at startup as usual, and choose Try Ubuntu, that would be appreciated. You should now be taken into a Unity 2D session. Please let me know if this is not the case for you.
