I think there are several solutions. 1) have the end-user create a custom "command" in Preferred Applications to start the screen reader with magnifier (eg., "gnopernicus -m"). http://www.cactus.org/~gk4/gnome/prefapps.png 2) create a 2nd configuration for a screen reader that says with magnifier (eg., "gnopernicus", "gnopernicus with gnome-mag"). 3) add "mouse tracking" to gnome-mag's PropertyBag so the screen reader can remotely control it. the screen reader uses Bonobo to tell gnome- mag to turn off mouse tracking. The problem with scenarios 1 and 2 above is that the end-user will have to know not to explicitly configure a magnifier. Hopefully that will be obvious. The problem not having a magnifier option in Preferred Applications is that it would hardcode gnome-mag and not leave room for kmag or one of the many other magnifiers found on sourceforge.net, or beging able to use the window manager's built-in magnifier (eg., "metacity-mag-config start"). http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2006- August/msg00023.html George (gk4) _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
