Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to do it in 11.10. To make
it possible to just flip a screenreader on would require that
QT_ACCESSIBILITY environment variable be set to 1 in *all* sessions as
a default. With Qt-AT-SPI installed, this'd cause a huge performance
impact because Qt-AT-SPI is too new to have been optimised yet. At
some point, the need for QT_ACCESSIBILITY to be set before *anything*
starts running (ie, at session startup) will go away, but there's no
consensus yet on how to do that. I'm hopeful about Qt folks figuring
out a better solution in time for 12.04.
