hi all. I've run into a pretty serious issue with orca and wayland. In
fedora 22, gdm is going to default to using wayland for it's login
screen instead of xorg. Unfortunately, orca is unable to read the
contents of the gdm window when it's using wayland. I've proven this
by setting wayland-enable to false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, after
which orca read the window just fine. When it was set to true orca
became unable to read the window. I've filed
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746627, for this, but this
is a wider issue  than just gdm. This needs fixed, and fixed soon. I'm
not exactly how orca gets access to apps to read them, but if wayland
prevents this this would be a huge step backward for accessibility.
I'm not trying to complain or be demanding whatsoever, just trying to
jump on this while we still have time.
Thanks
