+Subject: [PATCH] device-a11y-manager: Check properly for the DBus backend
+ presence
+
+The DBusProxy creation succeds even if the object does not exist.
+So, check for the unique name of the object, this will be set only if the
+a11y manager actually exists.

+Subject: [PATCH] atspi-device-a11y-manager: Fix crash on dispose
+
+grabbed_modifiers is a simple list of integers, we cannot call g_free on the
+list items. Fixes SIGSEGV on disposal, as seen in Orca and Mutter 48.0
