In the meantime, it occurred to me that I should have added that non 
initiated pointer users able to click will probably be lost the first 
time they enter the GNOME session as on a default Ubuntu Karmic 
installation, the Universal Access menu and the menu items for the 
onscreen keyboard (onboard) are hidden.

The carry over mechanism would solve the problem, but not hiding the 
menus would of course be simpler.
