Well, it's not really about GNOME (though there are GNOME-only issues
such as Gnome Settings), but Wayland in general. I started collecting
what I'm aware of on
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Accessibility/Wayland/
https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2019/01/msg00014.html
can probably be easy to fix, I just don't know where packages are
supposed to define environment variables for Wayland sessions.
