[g-a-devel] onscreen keyboard ported from GDM to desktop session on purpose?



Hi,

Since upgrading my Ubuntu session from lucid to maverick, which is the current Ubuntu development version, I remarked the following:

When I activate the onscreen keyboard during the login session, it remains automatically available in the desktop session. You might also want to know that Ubuntu does not use the default onscreen keyboard of GNOME, it uses onboard as default onscreen keyboard.

As there were discussions on the accessibility list about automatically porting the assistive tools from the GDM session to the login session, I wonder whether this feature has been implemented, as onboard gets currently ported from the GDM session to the desktop session. Or is it only some side effect of a bug or something similar?

Could anybody please tell me whether the porting has been done on purpose and is scheduled to remain available? In this case we might look whether onboard could need any adaption to take the porting into account.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Cheers,

Francesco.
