patch to save gconf key, set to true before running tests, and restore before exiting (1.11 KB, patch)

Description Dave Malcolm 2005-11-02 20:42:11 UTC 
Suggest that as a convenience, the dogtail-run-headless should turn on a11y for
the current user, possibly using something like the following:
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true

(since it's meaningless to run a dogtail script if this is not enabled)

This should be done either in the generated .xinitrc or before xinit is run; I'm
not sure which yet.

Good point, I think I can fix this easily.
