Description William Jon McCann 2005-06-21 15:31:12 UTC 
We need to add support for assistive technologies.

Also see bug 99505.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2005-07-27 20:03:53 UTC 
Current plan is to: 

* detect if accessibility is required
* automatically start a gdmflexiserver
* have user authenticate with GDM using atk tools
* GDM will switch back to the users session
* GDM will send a DBus message on the system bus
* gnome-screensaver will receive message and unlock screen
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2006-07-31 18:25:15 UTC 
Another option is to use the feature introduced in bug #347721.

Comment 5 Christoph Wickert 2011-05-09 15:33:03 UTC 
Can someone please raise the priority/severity? We really need (at least) the onscreen keyboard to work to unlock the display because
- there are more and more tablets out there
- the fix from but 347721 no longer works.

Handled by GDM/Shell now.
