Bug#694937: release-notes: Accessibility and gdm3



Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: a11y

Since nobody found the time to add the a11y menu to the GDM fallback 
greeter, the following should be mentioned in the release notes:


  By default, most accessibility tools are not enabled in the GNOME 
  display manager (gdm3).  In order to enable screen reading, zooming, 
  or a visual keyboard, the simplest way is to enable the “shell” 
  greeter.
  
  To do that, edit the /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings file, and uncomment 
  the following:
    session-name='gdm-shell'
  while commenting
    session-name='gdm-fallback'
  
  Note that it requires a compatible 3D graphics card — which is the 
  reason why it is not enabled by default.


Thanks,
