Bug#519544: devhelp: WebKit based devhelp is not accessible

[Mario Lang]

Package: devhelp
Version: 0.23-1
Severity: important

When I use devhelp 0.21 (Gecko based) with Orca (gnome-orca)
I can read the content tree and the text on the right side (the actual
chapter text).
When using devhelp 0.23 (WebKit based) with Orca I can
only read the content tree, but the actual chapter text is completely empty.

Mind you, on screen everything is fine, but apparently the screen
reader can not access the text to deliver it to the user.

This probably applies to all packages that are in the process of switching
to WebKit right now.
