Re: Proposal to enable accessibility by default for GNOME development releases

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

I'm not sure I understand the question, but you can manually get and set
the key via:

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true

As for determining the GNOME release version, this is already done
further up in the same file for which the patch was generated
(gnome-session/main.c, which you can view at
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnome-session/gnome-session/main.c).  The patched version looks like this:

  versions = g_strsplit (VERSION, ".", 3);
  if (versions && versions [0] && versions [1])
    {
      int major;
      major = atoi (versions [1]);
      if ((major % 2) != 0 && is_later_than_date_of_doom ())
        {
          putenv ("G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals");
          g_log_set_always_fatal (G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL);

          /* Also enable accessibility by default in unstable releases
           * of GNOME.
           */
          a_t_support = TRUE;
        }
    }

Hope this helps,

Will
