Re: [gentoo-accessibility] Gentoo with an accessible desktop

[Jann Schneider]

Hello,

i'm using the Desktop Gnome Systemd profile on my notebooks and it
works quite nice. What kind of errors do you get?

The gnome-tweak-utility might be helpful to customize the ui to your
personal preferences: you could for example enable some gnome shell
extensions to get a categorized applications menu or a places menu and
much other things.

btw. did you take a look at the mate desktop allready? I didn't but
read many good things about it being fairly accessible and close to
gnome 2 or lxde (not quite sure :) ) Maybe this would be of some
interesst, too.

Regards
Jann
