Hi Andrew So far as I am aware there is still radio silence from active GNOME packaging team members regarding this issue. No comment yet on the patch I adapted, positive or negative; this bug (#927667) remains at an RC severity.
I've not yet read all the thread that Samuel linked to[1] but it looks like it leans in favour of preserving the current default (xorg). I'm copying -release team to see if they have any (new) opinions on the matter. Otherwise I guess it's up to someone to prepare an NMU upload, which I will *try* to look at in the next few days, but can't make any guarantees. Further testers of the patch on this bug would be most welcome. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2019/02/threads.html#00004
