Severity: important
Version: 1.8.2-1
Tags: patch

The accessibility key bindings do not enable/disable orca (screen
reader) and onboard (on screen keyboard). This is a serious usability
issue for visually impaired individuals.

The upstream MATE team have prepared a number of patches to correct this
issue.
