This seems completely reasonable.  As you suggest in your previous
emails, I think the first step is to add a common gesture launching
mechanisms to the login screen and the session for launching the
preferred visual/mobility AT programs.  We probably should try to
support both keybindings and mouse cursor based gestures initially.

If there is a need for adding more AT categories and keybindings/mouse
gestures to start them, we can pursue that later.  Hopefully the
infrastructure we choose for implementing this will lend itself
to easy extension later if necessary.
