Ubuntu mate accessibility

Hello!


May I suggest a single-panel Mate layout like Redmond!  To set this,  
Do, from the run dialogue or terminal:


mate-panel --reset --layout redmond



This will result in a layout having only a bottom panel, and a single 
menu, having all of Applications, Places, and System menu items. your 
indicators should be on the bottom.  You'll still need 'ctrl+alt+esc' to 
move to panel; not sure how to fix this shortcut.


I think, if you run gparted with


sudo -g




you'll be asked for password, then get an accessible session.




HTH,




Dave
