  • Enabling accessibility stack by default in Gtk2

    From Samuel Thibault@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 30 19:20:02 2015
    Hello,

    As discussed at DebConf [1,2,3], we would like to make the accessibility
    stack enabled by default, so that all a user who needs it has to do is
    just to start orca (while at the moment she has to find an option in
    the control panel, and logout/login again, thus closing all running applications...).

    This is actually already the case for Gtk3-based applications, we would
    like to enable it for Gtk2-based applications too. I feel very safe
    about this since the accessibility stack has been maturing in Gtk2 for a
    decade now.

    The way I see it is simply by making the libatk-adaptor package add gail
    and atk-bridge to GTK_MODULES from a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d.

    Is it OK with GTK people?

    Sounds good to me. If problems arise, there's time to fix them or revert the change (hopefully the former).

    Ok, I have uploaded this in at-spi2-atk, let's see how it goes.
