We don't set anything for assistive technologies. Even more, Gramps does not
work with ATK enabled last I checked due to a bug in how ATK messes up our
treeviews.
So blind people cannot use Gramps in the first place as long as the problems
with the toolkit we use are not resolved (and as the toolkit has seen a new
version, they will not fix the version Gramps uses).

For people with low vision however, there are several GTK themes that make
Gramps usable. As the field is  not only red, but also shows an icon, there
should be enough feedback.
