No. /usr/lib/gnome-applets/libaccessx-status-applet.so, in gnome-applets,
is failing to give an error message when sticky keys are enabled.

gnome-applets does not support Wayland at all. Moreover we do not deal
with sticky keys, only with sticky notes :)

Also this is unlikely a duplicate of #648292: that bug was filed in 2011
when there was no GNOME Wayland session yet.

According to some upstream links [1][2] this should be moved to gtk+.

Bug#874586: actually, it's Wayland that's the problem

[Christopher Cramer]

After some further investigation, I have discovered that the problem
is apparently caused by GDM now defaulting to Wayland, which has no
accessibility support. My complaint about the lack of an error message
still stands.

This bug is, perhaps, a duplicate of 648292.

To work around this, uncomment "WaylandEnable=false" in
/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf.
