Great!

In parallel I've been working on making some of the gnome settings 
related to accessibility more discoverable. If we move the AT app 
selection and activation to Preferred Applications we free up quite a 
bit of space in the original Assistive Technology dialog. My spec 
suggests adding links to the keyboard and mouse access features there 
along with links to themes and fonts which many will find useful. See: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/CommonATConfig


If we make an AT wizard or guide in the future that should also be 
linked from the main AT page.

George, could we also add a direct launch button for each of these apps? 
'Launch now'. We will likely need to add that feature in Ubuntu because 
we prefer to remove the pre-installed applications from the Applications 
menu.
