On my radar, have had to track down a regression in GTK a11y code related to ubiquity, but am on top of that now, and once I file a bug upstream today, unity-greeter will be my next target.

There is a greater chance of solving this for Unity 2D, I'd like to take time to look at this as well if I can.

Again, unity 2D is all I am caring about atm, and the dash works there, with a slight keyboard bug, not being able to move between lenses.

If you mean the menus, then yes, I hav e aifx in the work, but it needs reworking to comply with dbusmenu tests.

Unity 2D launcher works.

If you haven't guessed already, I am only caring about Unity 2D for the LTS, because once again, its consistantly the most accessible, thanks to QT and the new at-spi bridge.
