Either you are using it wrong (su) or you are describing the exact same behaviour as Windows and MAC. Is it perfect? No. Is it worse than any other mainstream product? No.
>Also, if you call that GUI inaccessible, you write from a place of privilege: mobile platforms absolutely beat the shit out of any desktop computer on accessibility count, hands down, any people with some kind of disability will tell you as much.
Really? A thread on HN a few weeks (months?) back about this did absolutely not show any such consensus. Many loved Apple products for accessibility, but even more commented that Windows was by far the best product available, far ahead of Mac and iPhones.
