Tab names need some thought,  but otherwise looks quite neat.  I  
think you'd ideally want some sort of preview area on the  
Accessibility tab as well, though, for testing out the two functions  
there that have a delay slider.

Also just noticed a couple of points that apply to the existing Mouse  
capplet:

- I'd suggest that something like "interval" might be a better term  
than "timeout" for double-click settings.  I'm not sure my granny  
would know what a "timeout" was, even if she were still alive :)

- "Double-click" should only be hyphenated in it's noun form IIRC, so  
I think "try to double-click" is incorrect.  (I'd check this in the  
doc styleguide, but the *.gnome.org websites seem to be dead right now.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
