[Bug 1056300] Re: If a GTK application quits the main loop and restarts it again, accessibility is lost.

We need to get this working for final release, so I think the best way
forward is as follows:

1. Revert 5debed5ae247c1dd440cb71d0a6d328df74b0844 in the gtk+3.0 package. This will work around the problem by not shutting down accessibility at all for GTK, which was how things were for most of this cycle prior to this commit being made upstream. Shutting down accessibility is the right thing to do long term, as it cleans up unused sockets and connections, but reverting this commit won't break anything either.
2. Once upstream has worked out a proper solution to this problem, we can drop the revert, and pull the upstream fix and SRU it.

I have subscribed Sebastien to get his thoughts on whether this is
reasonable. If he gives the go ahead, I'll take care of the first step
of the above prior to final freeze.

Bug description:
  On the quantal beta 2 image - 20120925, I'm trying to do the
  screenreader test.  So far I've been able to reproduce this with both
  i386 and amd64+mac.  After starting orca, things seem to work ok
  through the welcome screen in ubiquity, but then it quits reading.
  Starting with the screen titled "Install" with the text at the top
  "Preparing to install Ubuntu", it doesn't read the screen any longer.
  Nor does it seem to tell me when I press keys like enter to move on.
  Other apps are still read to me after this by orca though.
