Hey Trev.

My understanding based on what Alejandro (CC'ed) has explained is that
the solution will actually be more abstract and make it possible for
Orca to play nicely in a gsettings world, and in whatever world we have
to play in when the GNOME community decides they've grown bored with
gsettings, and other worlds beyond that.

But I'll let Alejandro elaborate on all of this.

Thanks! Take care.
