[Impact]
Lenovo customer require to fix it. From users experience this function is missing. Some accessibility features of the Ubuntu operating system did not function. The hotkey to toggle the Orca screen reader on and off (super+alt+S) did not function at the Login screen.

[Test Case]
1. Boot into the system.
2. Go the login screen.
3. Press "super+alt+s" to enable the orca screen reader.
4. Observe the orca screen reader is enable or not.

Expected result:
The screen reader should be enabled.

Actual result:

What release of Ubuntu has this been tested? Does this happen in Vivid?

[Alex Wen (ronglu-wen)]

Tired on both stock Ubuntu 14.04 and Vidid
Stock Ubuntu 14.04 the hotkey "Super+Alt+S" did not function.
Vidid Ubuntu the hotkey "Super+Alt+S" function.

On trusty the keybinding is Ctrl+S, that commit should be trivial to backport and change to super+alt+S

Robert, did you plan to SRU some other fixes to trusty? That one seems like it should be easy to backport, can you have a look to it?

Installed a fresh trusty and upgraded (w/o trusty-proposed), super+alt+s can not open screen reader during login screen.

After enabling proposed and install unity-greeter from trusty-proposed, super+alt+s can open screen reader during login screen.

Add tag "verification-done"
