Package: mate-settings-daemon Severity: important Version: 1.8.2-1 Tags: patch The accessibility key bindings do not enable/disable orca (screen reader) and onboard (on screen keyboard). This is a serious usability issue for visually impaired individuals. The upstream MATE team have prepared a number of patches to correct this issue. * https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/commit/b8e3a26d0975cb43cb5a315bceaf581f6ea2a5a8 * https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/commit/b42e0ce69a7f232d4c29de284bd0b3ca4a38555d * https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/commit/d0f277bf02655db7e35946b82176a1b5ffe6819b * https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/commit/4cb2701b4996045171c4ba67400be0f528d76505 These patches are attached to this email as: * 0010_move_a11y_keybindings_to_media_keys.patch * 0011_add_a11y_settings_plugin.patch * 0012_use_gnome_a11y_schema_to_enable_applications.patch * 0013_monitor_gnome_schema_keys.patch These patches have been tested on Arch Linux and Ubuntu MATE 14.04. Please apply these patches to mate-settings-daemon so that MATE on Debian Jesse is a viable platform for the visually impaired.
JFTR on Debian BTS (I think we communicated this on IRC already): This patchset won't make it to Debian jessie. In a private communication with Niel Thykier, he discouraged me of including this patchset in any of the upcoming uploads of m-s-d before jessie is released.
We will provide an m-s-d version containing this patch soon via experimental, though.
