Description Hammer Attila 2011-07-08 08:49:23 UTC
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
