The details for visual/mobility are set by Preferred Applications with /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties. The visually impaired user can set the screen reader, magnifier, etc, and for mobility the user can set GOK, dasher, etc. This way it is not hard coded by gdm or gnome-session. Please see the design wiki for PreferredApplications. http://live.gnome.org/GAP/ScratchPad/PreferredApplications > > Assume the old gdm supported three shortcuts, say C-M for magnifier, > C-S > for screenreader and C-K for onscreen keyboard, which of the two get > mapped to visual+mobility, and which tool looses out ? By default the user's gdm's gconf preferred applications setting for Visual AT should be set to a screen reader with magnification. During the first login after an install, then the owner can set the preference for user gdm to the exact Visual AT that is preferred by the primary user. These new hooks moves AT preference settings from GDM hardcoding in /etc/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents/ to gconf with /desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec http://live.gnome.org/LSR/AccessibleLogin These new hooks also moves AT preference settings from gnome-session hardcoding which AT are available to a list in gnome-default-applications.xml I had a larger category set than visual and mobility; however, it was suggested by some folks with more accessibility experience than myself that I reduce it to what is currently implemented. I believe the question is what common visual and mobility gestures can be shared between GDM, GNOME, and KDE. -- George (gk4) _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
