Bug#680636: gdm3: I cannot use my braille keyboard

Hi,

I have fixed this bug by patching gnome-session and gdm3 to add back a directory 
where to place .desktop files that are started in the gdm session (for bug 
#689559). The only thing needed here is then to add that .desktop file to xbrlapi.

I have done that and tested it. xbrlapi is started in the gdm session, but it 
exits here because brltty1 is not available.

openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0

I suppose this is because I don't have the necessary hardware and that's a 
normal thing. In any case, could you test my changes and confirm they fix the 
bug for you? I have built i386 packages and put them (and the sources) at

http://people.debian.org/~pochu/a11y/

You need to install gnome-session*, gdm3 and xbrlapi, then restart gdm3.

I'll soon submit my gnome-session and gdm3 changes to debian-release.

Thanks,
Emilio
