Yeah - I made a similar mistake when tarting up the sample I just posted. I
think a 'living' example would be more helpful. If you have mouseovers,
you're fine (although that's cheating quite badly).

Underscores to show key-bindings, I guess. GNOME is pretty relaxed on the
accessibility features at the moment - which I'm sure you'd know all about,
coming from Sun! I'm glad you guys have found a needy area to put some
brains into. :) GNOME will be all the better.
