well, the firstthing that comes to mind is arranging for build machines
and test machines to have GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY set, do we have an idea
how hard this is?

I'd expect though that in the vast majority of cases  that there is a
session and this is not relavent. Karl would you  object if I merge that
change set?  (with nits if you have any fixed), I should atleast look at
the length of the check I added since it may well be over 80 chars.

Title:
  Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “firefox” source package in Oneiric:

Status in “firefox” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  Luke mentioned to me in Dublin that the screen reader doesn't work
  with Firefox when accessibility is enabled. This is because Firefox is
  still using GConf to check if accessibility is enabled, when it really
  needs to be using GSettings. I've just realized this is still the
  case, so I assume that the screen reader still won't work by default
