Dear Compiz Team,

Could you explain what changes have you made into Compiz to fix this issue ?
Is Unity 7 now usable with the EZoom module ?

Best regards.

  Unity should have a screen magnifier

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  In gnome-keybindings-properties, in the Accessibility section, there
  are three entries by default: toggle magnifier, toggle screen reader,
  and toggle on-screen keyboard. None of these work, whether or not
  Assistive Technologies is currently running and whether or not orca is
  currently running.

  WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN: I should be able to configure a shortcut to
  any of these actions, such as Ctrl-Alt-A to the Toggle magnifier
  action. Then, pressing, Ctrl-Alt-A will start the magnifier.

  WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS: I am able to modify the entry in the gnome-
  keybindings-properties window, but pressing the designated key does
  not perform any action. That is, the magnifier does not open. Changing
  the hotkeys for other actions works okay.

  WHY THIS IS BAD: This is confusing and misleading behavior, and can be
  especially damaging for people who need the accessibility features.
  Ideally, the keybindings should be fixed, but otherwise they should be
  removed from the dialog.

  This is true under up-to-date Lucid 10.04 tested on several systems.
