Re: [orca-list] session manager window anyone???

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi, Luke,

Will Unity benefit from the a11y improvements in the QT library implemented
in qt5?  Or, is this a different port of qt?   Is qml as accessible?  Less
accessible?

Thanks.

Alex M

Turns out that this window is actually part of the unity code proper, which
makes it more difficult to improve accessibility wise than I thought.

Luckily, it appears that the GTK based messages that used to be displayed
are still in the code, but if Unity is running, Unity does the window
instead. It will be much easier to put in a switch to disable the unity
logout/restart windows and use the GTK one than it will be to try and fix
things in Unity, given Unity will be rewritten in Qt/QML anyway...
