I'd like keyboard A11Y to be enabled, but actual keyboard A11Y features disable, with toggle keys enabled. I.e., press and release shift five times in a row and get a pop-up asking whether to enable sticky keys, for example. > The new GDM will honor the system or gdm user preferences for launching > AT programs when the GDM login GUI starts up.

There should be a quick way to enabled those, such as with toggle keys. > I understand that the Solaris a11y team provides an accessibility > LiveCD with different choices in the GRUB menu which launch GNOME with > certain a11y features turned on by default, depending on the GRUB > selection.
