GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 535063
Users-admin should include an "accessibility profile" selection in the add user dialogue
Last modified: 2012-11-24 20:28:18 UTC
Hi All, I just added a new user to my system, and I was just thinking, would it be possible to add a selection list of accessibility profiles to be applied to the new user? Something similar to the accessibility profile you can select before installation of Ubuntu at the boot menu, it would make at least a few system administrator's jobs easier. Cheers. -- Chris Norman -- Other information: For more information, boot the Ubuntu live CD, or launch Woobie.exe, and select a language, then (from the boot cd) press f5, and you'll see a list of accessibility preferences, or (in Woobie.exe) click accessibility. HTH.
This seems to be about gnome-system-tools' users tool, right?

Not sure how we should/could handle this. What kind of profiles do you mean? Something based on the kind of disability the user may have? Wouldn't that be handled better by something like Sabayon? I'm asking because I think that would be quite messy to support in our architecture based on the system-tools-backends.
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings". It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
