Hello,
Looking at the patches I can see removal of at-spi2-bus-launcher related code however I am unable to see a fix related to cleaning up the X window root.Thus if the only patch to gtk-greeter is committed I am afraid it will leave us with broken a11y within the user session. Or should I be also looking elsewhere to see all the related activity?
I would say this is a good move prone to all kinds of various possible setups however before removing ability to spawn at-spi2-bus-launcher we should make sure there are no traces of it when it's being started by something else e.g. by orca when called with orca --replace or by GTK as part of its ATK module.
Again this only handles the case when at-spi2 is activated via systemd.
So to sumarize all the recent a11y related spam that has popped up recently:
These patches are only suitable for distros where at-spi is activated via systemd.
For systemd less distros the patch proposed by Samuel Thibauld at the LP #1366534 is so far the working solution.
