[Merge] lp:~gerboland/qtubuntu/a11y into lp:qtubuntu

[Gerry Boland]

The proposal to merge lp:~gerboland/qtubuntu/a11y into lp:qtubuntu has been updated.

Description changed to:

Handiest way to test:

1. sudo systemctl stop lightdm
2. run sudo mir_demo_server --arw-file
3. in another VT, do following:

/usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately
/usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi2-registryd

This brings up the DBus server used by the A11Y framework.

4. In a third VT, install "accerciser" and run with:
MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket python3 /usr/bin/accerciser
you should see it appear on screen.

Can double-check it works with "GDK_BACKEND=mir gedit" - accerciser allows you dig into the accessible portions of applications, which are used by screenreaders and other accessible technologies.

5. Now test Qt apps appear similarly in accerciser:
export QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1 QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 

QT_DEBUG_ACCESSIBILITY=1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/mainwindows/application/application
