A bug was filed about this in early 2002, and that the conclusion at the
time was that it was sort of nonsensical to try to accessibilize it- the
'core' functionality (switching workspaces, moving windows) are
available from default metacity keybindings. The secondary functionality
(displaying graphically the location of windows in relationship to each
other) was judged to not be useful in context- if you're unable to see
the applet, semantic information like 'the window is in the upper left
hand corner' was judged not likely to be useful/important.
