Hi,

if gnome almost works for you, for some definition of almost, then I
think you should direct your efforts at improving gnome. As the default
desktop in Fedora Workstation it has the highest exposure, and is most
likely to reach the "critical mass" of accessibility-requiring-users.

gnome-software is slowly discouraging people from installing packages
using old toolkits. This already aligns with your needs. Applications
are scored on a number of features, like large icons, proper
descriptive text, etc. Accessibility support was not on that list to
the best of my memory. Maybe you could work with Richard Huges — the
author of gnome—software — to add bonus points to applications which
score well in this regard.
