Aihe: Re: [dyne:bolic] how to customize the application menu?

I agree that the accesibility stuff is very important. I think that Dyne-Bolic must be accesible for everybody and Gnome has the Orca software incorporated, that permits people with visual disability use free software. That's a very important fight within the free software movent and is very important to make this world more fair.
