OK. Understood. GDM is supposed to allow us to do gestures like "hold
Ctrl-S for 5 seconds to start speech," or "Ctrl-M for 5 seconds to start
magnification." This is currently broken on all Linux, I believe, and
only working on Solaris.
Actually I looked into this the past week and am happy to report it's
working fine for me. It did require both making the themed greeter more
a11y-friendly as well as some other fixes. It's tracked here (note the
pointers to the various bugs on the GNOME bugzilla)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229912
and the live CD for Fedora 7 test3 should have this, e.g. we want the
live CD to boot into gdm and from there you can enable AT's (and/or
select your language) and these will also be started for your desktop
session.
