As marmuta said above, the auto-show (auto-hide) needs the accessibility framework to be enabled. In fact, it is the accessibility framework that informs onboard about when to appear and hide. Thus, it is not possible to use the auto-show feature without enabling the accessibility framework.
We might perhaps add an option "Do not ask again" to the dialog about enabling the accessibility framework. And if the user enables it, each time Onboard starts up, it would automatically enable the accessibility framework, unless the user enabled the new option and clicked to not enable the accessibility framework. For Till's needs, a corresponding gsettings key without a GUI might even be sufficient. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227173 Title: On every startup Onboard asks for enabling accessibility To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1227173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
