Thanks for the kind note, but I really don't deserve any of the credit.
I've read some bug reports, some code, and some of the accessibility web
pages, but I haven't yet read enough to grok how the accessibility stuff
works.

I'd rather have metacity detect /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility
and use that to determine whether to use this feature or not.  But I'm
not a metacity maintainer and Rob and Havoc might know of other
problems, issues, or solutions.  It's up to them.
