This is more challenging purely because we have to support multiple display managers, and in the case of 
lightdm, multiple greeterssssssss. Think of a greeter as a frontend, and from what I've seen, different 
greeters store settings in different ways, and in the case of gsettings, they also likely use different 
schemas.

Orca's settings are also another amtter. At the moment, they are stored in json format, so policykit could be 
used to allow Orca cacess to write its settings into the DM's user directory, but in the future this may not 
be so easy, given there are plans to move to using gsettings.

I think it would be a good feature to have, but we need to solve a few challenges first. The lowest hanging 
fruit is to get all the DMs and greeters to agree on a standard accessibility gsettings schema etc.
