workspace switcher is not accissible with Orca

Hi,

One could take this even further by setting shortcut keys for moving to 
workspaces 1 through n, making this a one-keystroke operation.  Unless 
there's something critical in the workspace switcher, that needs 
accessibility, I'm ok with this being filed as a low-priority, wishlist 
sort of item in Orca's bug tracker.



Cheers,



Dave
