[Bug 997899] [NEW] Ubuntu accessibility packages such as at-spi2 and gnome-orca should have touch screen support

[Jeremy Lincicome]

Public bug reported:

With Ubuntu making a move tward phones and tablets, accessibility needs
to be taken into account. The accessibility stack should allow a totally
blind person to access and explore the contents on screen without
needing a physical keyboard. Accessibility related commands will need to
be mapped to touch gestures. For example, opening the Orca preferences
dialog. I thing a package such as Easystroke can help with this project.
