I'd like to second this on totally non-accessibility grounds.  Tablet
PCs with touchscreens aren't *that* widespread now, but currently GNOME
doesn't serve those of us well who have them.  An onscreen keyboard
would help a lot.  

The other main utility that would help is an applet equivalent to
"xmonobut", a button-click remapper (touchscreen clicks are Button1
only).  There's also xstroke (graffiti-like fullscreen handwriting
recognizer) but let's not get ahead of ourselves :) 

I would guess that xmonobut would also be useful for accessibility
purposes.
