gnome desktop in 14.04 inaccessible?

[Tony Bernedal]

Hi 
I installed ubuntu gnome desktop on a test machine running ubuntu 14.04. I wanted to see if gnome desktop was more accessible than unity.
I used the apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop. 
To my surprise it was not accessible at all. 
First I selected gdm as the video manager as described in a article I found. That loginscreen was not useable, couldn't change the session as I can with the default login. Fixed that so I was back to lightdm and that login screen works. Changed session to gnome and logged in.
The program menu with alt+f1 was not useable at all. 
the panels seems to not work. 
No menus so the panels (if they are there at all) so the content can be changed.
Any ideas here of a better desktop environment on ubuntu or is Vinux the only usefull distro nowdays. 
Ubuntu 12.04 was more usefull than this crap.
Don't want to go to Windows but if accessibility on linux is so useless I think we don't have any options left.

Regards Tony
