Gnome 2.4, a11y, and the UI freeze

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Gnome Hackers:

Gnome 2.4 is close to being the first release providing a reasonable
degree of end-user accessibility and support for assistive technologies.
There are 52 Stopper and Candidate stopper bugs outside of the
accessibility framework which need to be addressed in order to make
Gnome 2.4 a usable introduction to accessibility on UNIX.  

To meet this goal, it would be good to get some traction on the
following accessibility stopper/candidate stopper bugs before the
upcoming UI freeze deadline on July 7th.  There are already patches
for a good number of them, but need community consensus before we
know if the patch can simply be applied or if further work is needed.
