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

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Actually - after a cup of coffee, I think I now understand better what
you're requesting.  Just one method call change, I think.  When I did
the earlier patches, I was looking for parameters to the
gconf_client_get call to allow me to do this and was surprised not to
find them.  Somehow I missed the gconf_client_get_without_default
variant.  

New patch submitted:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362457

We'll eventually get there.  The main positive thing is that the
community seems to be in overall support of enabling a11y in development
releases.  The bad thing is that you have someone ignorant in the driver
seat (me), but he's at least listening to directions.

Thanks!

Will
