It is true that you have to be somewhat advanced to know to create a script in /etc/profile.d, but this is *necessary* for qt4 accessibility to work. Without this, the plugin is installed but no program knows to use it.
I just spoke with some upstream Qt/KDE accessiblity devs, and they continue to recommend that users of Qt4 applications to do some sort of opt-in (ie, set QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 manually). They said the support is just not good or reliable enough to justify enabling it by default for everyone.
In short, I'd be in favor of including qt-at-spi in workstation's installation set (but not set QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 automatically).
What would this bring, besides shortening the setup instructions?
Nothing, it's just simpler, yes.
p.s. This only applies to Qt4 applications, of course, Qt5 ones should work out of the box.
Which uses the same variable name as Qt4, which means we cannot enable it by default when we install qt-at-spi.
I was told Qt5 does not use or need the variable, stuff should 'just work'.
