The accessibility indicator is no longer showing because I have been
revamping the accessibility profile system this cycle, and unfortunately
ran out of time to properly implement support for flavours other than
Ubuntu Unity.

It is worth noting however that the accessibility indicator only
provided real use in Ubuntu proper anyway, as the profile settings were
entirely geared around Ubuntu only. They likely would have mostly worked
in the GNOME flavour, but not very likely to work in mate at all, since
mate has different GSettings schemas to GNOME and Unity. So for example,
if you were to try and enable a profile in Ubuntu Mate 15.10, you
wouldn't see any real change, other than maybe Orca loading, because all
the settings are GNOME and unity related. In addition, if you were to
dig into the installer logs, you would notice errors when attempting to
select a profile, because GSettings schemas required for profile
functionality in GNOME/Unity are not likely present in the mate flavour.

This doesn't excuse my lack of providing support for Mate. As I said, it
was planned, and due to some other work that was required for this to go
ahead taking longer than I hoped, I did not get around to adding non-
Unity support in time.

If enough people want this, and enough of us could put a case forward to
get an FFE approved, I could add support for Non-Unity flavours, and we
could add some Mate specific settings to the profiles, and if you want,
add extra profiles specific to Mate, since the advantage of the new
profile system is adding custom profiles, whereas the previous sytem was
all hard-coded in a script that lived in the casper package.
