Title:
  Accessibility issues in gnome-control-center

Status in gnome-control-center source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Oracular:

Bug description:
  Gnome Control Center has several accessibility issues, specifically:

  * All cc-list-row elements lack a role (like the volume levels button, alert 
sound button...)
  * The avatar pictures lack a role and a context
  * The buttons in the panel's list of elements lack a role

  [ Impact ]

  An user that relies on a screen reader will lack a lot of context when
  navigating the settings, making it much harder to use the computer.

  There are three patches that fix all this. Since all of them are
  related to accessibility, they have been grouped in a single bug:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3187
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3184
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3183

  [ Test plan ]

  * Open Gnome Control Center and enable the screen reader
  * Go to the tabs at the left and move over them using the keyboard. The name 
will be spoken. With the patch, the name and a role ("button") will be spoken.
  * Go to the System->Users tab, and choose the option to change the Avatar 
picture. It will say only the name of the picture, but no role. With the patch, 
it will say "name-of-the-picture Button", and also the first one will say 
"Stock avatars" before too, adding context.
  * Go to Sound->Sounds->Volume levels using the keyboard. It will say "Volume 
levels". With the patch, it will say "Volume levels button", thus specifying 
the element role.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  All the cases just add accessibility labels, so, in general, any
  possible problem should be just wrong accessibility data spoken
  through the screen reader, but no impact is expected for the average
  user.
