Thanks for replying! I was going to post a summary + link to the a11y list, and check if I was doing roughly the right thing.

I needed to get them out of my head. Launchpad seemed a very accepting place to put them :-).

I'm still a bit hazy on how all this is implemented and integrated into Ubuntu. I can certainly re-test & report for upstream versions of orca + metacity + firefox.

There's one Unity-specific bug, #801218 "Alt+f4 in firefox also closes orca (Unity only)".

Also #802546, "Certain table navigation shortcut (e.g. in firefox) is overriden by gnome "expose windows" shortcut". I think that's an integration issue, and the shortcut in question isn't necessarily enabled in the upstream compiz defaults. I'm not going to install an upstream Gnome environment just to confirm that. Ideally, when Orca is running it should get priority for this specific keyboard shortcut, but I suspect that's easier said than done.
