Screen Magnifier

Hi,

The only big think that I think that is missing in linux magnification
is full screen magnification. Something that can be setted now, but it's
a bit tricky. The other requirements are accomplished, I only don't know
how easy is to toggle the invert image mode, but a shortcut is not
difficult to add. Maybe the Orca developers could give some hint if
anything is already implemented.

This is a very good review about gnome-mag, the GNOME magnifier:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Reviews/gnome-mag

In the future gnome-mag (maybe for 2.18) will have support for
full-screen magnification using COMPOSITE, avoiding the roundtrip
presented in the Review to set full-screen magnification for now.

This is almost ready and you can see this work in:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348375

Best regards,
