OK, seriously now:

...not free but maybe not too terribly expensive either.  But the
'review' needs really to be something that everybody pitches in on,
since the real problem (I'm finding, anyway) is not fixing the problems
but being aware of them and monitoring the many decisions being made in
the far corners of Gnome that affect accessibility.  If everyone keep
this in mind then I think those of use who are officially sanctioned to
do accessibility support as our primary job can be more effective, hour
for hour.  

I of course would be *delighted* to give detailed assistance to anyone
who is considering the issue of accessibility support for their custom
widgets... catch me on IRC or email.
