Improving Gnome Desktop Accessibility

[Arky]

Hi,

To have a much improved Gnome Desktop accessibility experience for the next 2.29.x release, we need to fix quite a few old bugs. Most of bugs appear to low priority but are very important for people with disabilities.

Clock-applet inaccessible (regression) 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581351

Notification Area icons are inaccessible
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611562

panel_toplevel_construct_description should provide less technical descriptions 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610000

"Desktop" name is now "x-nautilus-desktop" (regression)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555425

"search:" name instead of 
"x-nautilus-search"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610789

 Pathbar 'drive' 'previous folder' icon inaccessible 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610809

Switch to notification area shortcut key
