Re: Ubuntu-accessibility Digest, Vol 54, Issue 12

2010-05-13 Thread Tom Lloyd
I posted the bug about super+m and compiz negative. The way to change it is to 
install the compiz config manager and then change the preferred key combination 
to something like ctrl+super+m for negative.

The negative plug-in by default on 10.04 is broken. You also have to change the 
exclude value in the negative configuration and delete the contents to get it 
to work. Sometimes it does other times is doesn't with the default settings. As 
of yesterday. Again i have posted a bug report on this matter.

The disadvantage of doing this is that the desktop background is also inverted. 
But a least the rest of it works.

Re: Heads up, shortcut key to access messaging/sound indicator menus.

 Hy Luca,
 
 This shortcut (Super+s) is working if the indicator applet and indicator 
 applet session applet is added the top or bottom panel. But, if the 
 indicator session applet is added any panel, this applet remove the 
 logout user and shutdown menus from system menu.

That's true, if you remove the indicator session applet from a panel,
the System menu shows the upstream GNOME configurations, i.e. menu
entries to lock the screen, logout (logout or change user) and shutdown
(shutdown, reboot, suspend).

 I think if an accessible install happening with any blindness profile, 
 the indicator applet session is not default added a panel.

Unfortunately I've no confirm on this. I'll try on a virtual machine, I
hope to find some time...

 For example, if I added this applet my bottom panel and press Super+s 
 key combination, the guest user choose is awailable. If this applet is 
 not enabled, have another way to choose the guest session? 

It seems that Ubuntu and Canonical provided a graphical user interface
for guest session only for indicator session applet.

But, basically, that menu entry should simply launch the
script /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch

You could try adding a launcher for this script

 Guest session 
 user have a default password, or nothing defined and enough to choose 
 for example switch user, and the accessible login dialog enough to 
 choose other... item and type guest username and not type any password? 

The guest session is not related to any existing user account, but in
order to use a guest session you need to have a real user account
logged in.

We could say that running a guest session the operating system adds a
temporay (and restricted) user with a temporary home folder. When you
log out from gust session, both temporary user and folder are removed.


Cheers, Luca
