Package: xbrlapi Version: 5.2~20141018-2 Severity: important Hello,
When using lightdm, the session has XDG_VTNO defined to the VT number (for instance 7), but not WINDOWPATH. xbrlapi know only about the latter, while libbrlapi knows about both. The result is that xbrlapi confusingly attaches itself to the X window 7 of the VT 7, and thus doesn't get braille input to be simulated in X. This was fixed upstream by the attached patch, which makes xbrlapi aware of XDG_VTNO too. This will however break Orca, which has the same problem, so we need to fix Orca first.
