Bug Description

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Use a Unity branch that properly load a11y on Unity https://code.launchpad.net/~apinheiro/unity/a11y-replace-gconf
2. Activate screen reader
3. Press Alt+F1 to open the Launcher
   * If you interact with the Launcher orca will speech out that
4. Press a key like Alt, Ctrl or Esc

EXPECTED OUTCOME

Orca speechs out the name of this key

ACTUAL OUTCOME

Nothing happens

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This feature is required so people could know the key that they are pressing.
Not sure if this is a Unity or a Nux regression. It would be required to check if the nux event inspector are working.

Finally it was not a nux bug.

In order to avoid gail and at_bridge being loaded, so using gtk AtkUtil implementation, unity needed to set the envars NO_GAIL and NO_AT_BRIDGE before gtk_init.

It seems that this was moved recently. The branch related to this bug solves this issue
