Ok, so gnome-mag is the magnifier backend for GNOME Ocra. When I enable
the magnifier option of Orca it actually does start the `magnifier` program.
In that case maybe it's not worth to mention it as such in our
documentation. I mean, it's not a particularity of Tails to have both
installed but a simple consequence of having Orca installed with all the
recommended packages. So I guess that people that might use `magnifier`
directly would already know that.
In that sense can you have a look at commits ea638ba..98b1a0c?
