Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to do it in 11.10. To make it possible to just flip a screenreader on would require that QT_ACCESSIBILITY environment variable be set to 1 in *all* sessions as a default. With Qt-AT-SPI installed, this'd cause a huge performance impact because Qt-AT-SPI is too new to have been optimised yet. At some point, the need for QT_ACCESSIBILITY to be set before *anything* starts running (ie, at session startup) will go away, but there's no consensus yet on how to do that. I'm hopeful about Qt folks figuring out a better solution in time for 12.04. -- Mackenzie Morgan -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
