hi all
I hesitate to do this because I"m not sure what the proper way is to
request a package be installed in fedora by default, but I'd like to
request that the package qt-at-spi be installed in all fedora releases
from now on, at least until qt4 is eol and apps switch over to qt5. To
be brief, qt-at-spi is a plugin that bridges the qAccessible API to
at-spi, so that apps written in qt can talk to orca. Applications that
use qt5 do not need this, the accessibility bits are built in to qt5.
Along with qt-at-spi, if this gets included, a small script will need
to be put into /etc/profile.d called qt-accessibility.sh, with the
following content. export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1. Once this is done,
applications like vlc, mumble, etc read with orca. Until this is done
these applications are silent. For some reason the qt-at-spi package
doesn't include this script.  This package needs no maintenance, once
installed in the live image it's done, no further action is needed.
qt-at-spi is no longer maintained upstream, and is only needed for qt4
applications
 I'm not sure if qt-at-spi pulls in most of qt with it, and if so I
can see why it is not installed by default, but I don't believe it does
Thanks
