Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2011-11-23 15:55:43 UTC 
The official screen magnifier of GNOME is now gnome-shell mag. Orca no longer supports (the long-since deprecated) gnome-mag. Furthermore, gnome-shell mag will be able to take advantage of the focus and caret tracking feature which will be included in gnome-shell for the 3.4 release.

Given that this code will no longer be required in Orca, combined with the deprecation of dbus-python as per bug 664602, we should remove this magnification code from Orca.
