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
