Bug#682912: iceweasel: inaccessibility with gnome-orca

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL <texou@accelibreinfo.eu>]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.6esr-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   
   I installed Debian wheezy, a fresh release, with gnome as desktop, with gnome-orca for accessibility.
   
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
  ineffective)?
	   
After configuring orca, enabled the monitor braille so that a sight people sees what would happen on a braille display and what says speech synthetiser, I run iceweasel.
	   
* What was the outcome of this action?
	      
orca says: "inaccessible"
	      
* What outcome did you expect instead?
		 
orca to read iceweasel normally.
		 
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
		 
NOTE:
export GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1 works. i.e. iceweasel runs.
		 
		 
		 
As I understand it, Mozilla code had to be updated to use DBus to detect whether
accessibility is enabled on the desktop, but this didn't happen until 11.0 (or
12.0?)
		 
Maybe the Debian maintainers should push that patch into the version they'll be
including in the release. Because any newbie user would be disappointed when he installs Debian if he's blind and cannot anymore have Web without some manipulation he doesn't know. Otherwise we should document this.
	 
Best regards,
