Re: 2.4 New Accessibility Features

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman sun com>]

One reason for having them in the menu (besides consistency with other 
user-space apps) is that users/testers who are not themselves disabled 
may want to turn them on and off at runtime rather than always use them.

Note that putting them in the dialog as startup progs requires that the 
user log out - another reason for having them available in the app menu.

Lastly, what about shared systems?  Admittedly a blind user would need 
assistance starting gnopernicus from a shared system's menus, but the 
same might not be true of low-vision users.
