Dear developers, Hopefuly I choose right application, and sorry the long bugreport. If I using GNOME3 with fallback mode, default two main menu group are accessible with keyboard if I press ALT+F1 key combination: applications and places main menu. The third "system" style menu is accessible only if I add the panel with mainmenu applet. I want access for example with "Shutdown", "Logout" menu items, and user related menues, for example System Settings menu item. If I press space key for main menu applet, this style menu is wonderful accessible, if I remember right all important menues are presenting right. Possible doing a little redesigning to awaylable all important menu groups and menu items with ALT+F1 key press? Two way design is possible: 1. Simple doing a lookup with very similar the oldest 2.x GNOME series menu design (Applications, Places, System menu groups). I very like prewious this style. 2. Doing an another lookup with possible accessible all important menu items after one key press, for example the traditional ALT+F1 key combination. I tried an another solution, but not help my problem: I add the main menu applet for example the bottom panel. The problem is following: unable to remove the another toppanel awailable menu icons. Prewious if I removed the menu bar for example with top panel, and add main menu applet, I get an one column dropdowned menu design both ALT+F1 key press and if I clicked the panel applet. Now, the main menu bar is unable to remove for example with top panel, and Alt+F1 key combination only presenting the applications and places menu, independent added the main menu applet the panel or not. I using Orca screen reader, so very important with I access all functions and menu items with keyboard.
fallback mode has been replaced with classic mode, so this is no longer relevant. It is also not a gnome-session bug
