Public bug reported:

[Impact]

User avatars are not identified by screen reader when focused in Gnome-
control-center. This means that blind users do not know which avatar
they are choosing.

[Test plan]

Reproduce the bug:

1. Start 'orca', the screen reader, and 'gnome-control-center'.
2. Go to System > Users and click the pencil button to change your avatar.
3. Use <Tab> to select different avatars.

Observe that nothing apropos the selected avatar is spoken by the screen
reader.

Now install the updated gnome-control-center package from proposed.
Consult https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed if needed.

Verify the bug is fixed by repeating steps 1 to 3 above. Now each time a
new avatar is focused, the screen reader announces a name matching its
picture, e.g. bicycle, book, calculator etc.

[Where things could go wrong]

In that avatar section of Gnome Control Center. For example, a missing,
empty or broken avatar where one would be expected or a wrecked layout
of its container; an incorrect description by the screen reader of the
avatar.
