But it is not confortable yet IMO, since I can't close the gnome-mag
applications when it's running stand-alone, I also can't choose size,
position, mag factor while the application is running. If I was an user
from an application that can just be started and then finished with a
*kill* I will not feel confortable.

Maybe the gnome-mag option in *Magnifier* stay disabled and the other
enabled for selection and when the user set the *Screen Reader* option
*Run at start* the gnome-mag option in *Magnifier* become available (if
the *Screen Reader* selected really use gnome-mag).

Maybe when the *GNOME Magnifier* option is disabled it could appear as
*GNOME Magnifier (Screen Reader dependent)*.

What do you think about?
