Re: gnome-control-center accessible?

Hi.
It's nothing specific to Red Hat, but i expect the gnome 2.2 shipping with
RH 9 probably has an older library than what is being used on main menu
which would explain some accessibility quarks.
I'm strongly looking at building a new copy of gnome 2.2 in /opt for
testing, and if it works properly then there is certainly something not
right about the gnome 2.2 currently shipping with 9 systems.
