Now, if somebody could come up with a way to get rid of the separate
m-t daemon and just make it a g-s-d module, that would be rad. It
seems the problem is that m-t needs the at-spi main loop while g-s-d
only uses the standard gtk one.

The patches for integrating the settings are basically done and
just waiting for the jury's verdict.
