Description chris 2012-05-31 22:00:46 UTC 
It should be possible for blind people to access the notification area (and make then reconizeble) in the gnome-shell.
Comment 1 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-05-31 22:01:59 UTC 
gnome-shell notifications work fine for me. What version of gnome-shell are you using?
Comment 2 chris 2012-06-01 14:10:28 UTC 
I´m using gnome 3.4.
How can i navigate to the bar on the bottom of the gnome-shell? so i would see the abrt or changing devices.
Greetings :)
Comment 3 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-06-01 14:13:40 UTC 
Aha! So the problem is that whether you are using Orca or not, you cannot move focus to them. Makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification. Moving this bug to gnome-shell because it is not an Orca bug.

Notifications are keyboard navigable on the master now (so available for GNOME 3.6). Anyway the elements of that panel doesn't have a proper label, so I will not close this bug yet.

Set a label_actor for the summary items on the message tray

I create a Label using the title of the source as the text. I suppose that this would be a good label for those buttons, as I assume that the title should be something short. On my jhbuild environment I was only able to try it with a connection problem notification, and the title was "Connection error", that was fine to me.
