Hi all, This is an important discussion. Thanks Tom and Ian for confirming the user need for allowing smooth moving into, and out of, AT support! And you all seem to refer only to use cases concerning adult, relatively advanced and independant user scenarios. Widen that to school and home use for children, and for adult users with multiple impairments, causing more dependency on assistance, and it should be obvious that this is an real issue. Accessibility must be combined with usability, and this aspect must not lag behind in Unix/Linux compared to what's expected and normal in Windows and Mac environments. There seem to be some promising techy suggestion on how to handle this, but also quite a challenge in terms of work and dependencies :-/ Mats Lundälv

Could people please state which OS their comments apply to in the first instance? If I understand what Will has said, the current situation is very much akin to a chicken and egg one - we want AT to be dynamic, and only load when required, but for it to load when required it currently needs to be already loaded and running. I certainly agree with Tom's use case scenarios. When I'm using the PC and another family member wishes to use it, they get annoyed by the AT being active so disable it - I am unaware of how this impeeds on their experience. ....
