Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Screen reader support for dynamic content in the Dash is enabled.

  [Test Case]

  (1) Enable Screen Reader (System Settings > Universal Access > Screen Reader)
  (2) Press Super + A to bring up the Applications lens of the Dash
  (3) Navigate displayed content
  (4) Choose an application for preview
  (5) Press Esc until the Dash is closed, repeat steps 2 to 4

  You should hear the application description and preview description.

  [Regression Potential]

  Some new code deals with processing pointers:  the usual problem
  potential of dealing with pointers in C code applies.

  [Other Info]

  This patch for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu
  "Vivid Vervet" dev release where it has been in public use for some
  time without apparent regression.
