Re: Proposal to enable accessibility by default for GNOME development releases

OK - I'll answer my own question - this approach doesn't seem to do what
we want.  In testing and testing with this, the problem is that some
assistive technologies depend upon the existence and value of the key
itself: if it's not enabled, they let the user know and then enable it.
I embarassingly know this now because that's what Orca does, and I'm
pretty sure it's what Gnopernicus does.

So....

It seems as though the right thing to do is enable accessibility in the
default schema for development releases.  Anyone have a clue for how to
do this?

We can use a autoconf variable on the schema file and expand it
depending on minor version of libgnome (the packaging owning that
schema).

We would need to rename:
schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas.in
to:
schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas.in.in

and apply the attached patch to do the auto* magic voodoo and use the
variable in the schema file.
