Unfortunately, it's not so wonderful that even the standard apps that
ship with GNOME still tend to use them for purposes for which they
weren't intended, or not use them when they should.  Both practices
rather limit their effectiveness... and yes, my old hobby-horse again,
this is another accessibility issue, too  :o)
