I need to know which window manager is in use. This command will tell us that: gsettings get org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager The output should be either "marco" or 'compiz' You can switch to the other one typing either: gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager 'marco' or gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager 'compiz' compiz can be tweaked, but it's not so easy so I suggest you use marco for now. When using marco, following key bindings work: <Control><Alt>Tab switch between top panel and desktop <Shift><Control><Alt>Tab switch between top panel and desktop You need to release all keys to switch. This is not ideal and in next Slint major update, it will be simpler as in both compiz and marco you will have by default: Cycle between windows <Alt>Tab Cycle backward between windows <Shift><Alt>Tab Cycle between panels and the desktop <Control><Alt><Tab> Cycle backwards between panels and the desktop <Shift><Control><Alt><Tab> This update should be available within a week or so, I will post here and in the Orca and Slint mailing lists when it will be ready Meanwhile you can already upgrade to the upcoming marco package typing these commands: wget http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/next/packages/marco-1.18.3-x86_64-1slint.txz md5sum marco-1.18.3-x86_64-1slint.txz You should get: 229b1e2a810fd07f18fa2148274d1ac5 marco-1.18.3-x86_64-1slint.txz Then become root with su and type: upgradepkg marco-1.18.3-x86_64-1slint.txz Just be aware that at next "slapt-get --upgrade you will be proposed to go back to the previous version as this one is not yet officially released. > Another issue is that Braille panning does not seems to work in > graphical mode on both my machines.

I am sorry, I can't help you there as I don't know Braille at all and thus have never used a Braille device. Else maybe the next upgrade will help, but that's just wishful thinking. Anyway brltty will be upgraded to version 5.6. I hope someone else can help you. Happy holidays and new year everybody.
