Hi, With the upload of GDM 3.4, I understand we're closer to have something that is a bit more acceptable in terms of a11y in our default desktop setup. I've been discussing with the GNOME a11y people, and I think we need a few bits still: - Clutter: we should try to get these two patches applied, so screen reading works as expected: http://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter/commit/?id=cafcf14e0e199df65842359d95c6595de46ad32b http://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter/commit/?id=0d4d467dd55ac23151a32e52195d47b6ab7706ca - GNOME Shell: we need this patch so we get Orca activation back in the menu: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=e6f5e21b5d416746dd19628791bc93c43dc382f1 All seem trivial, non-intrusive patches. Second, we need a way to activate Orca using a keypress in the GDM greeter. Something like: gsettings set 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys' screenreader '<Primary>s' (or whatever keybinding we think is good enough) for the Debian-gdm user should work, but I'm not sure how to do that in a sane way. Joss? Note setting that key as the gdm3 user didn't make orca start when pressing control-s at the greeter. We need to look a big deeper into this, but I won't be able to do anything until after my exams.
