IMO the buttons themselves suffice if they are labeled good enough for a 
user to know if he wants to go there or not. The button labels in the 
mockup for instance are pretty descriptive; I click "Layout..." when I 
want to change my keyboard layout (could also be named "Keyboard 
Layout..." for maximal clarity), and "Accessibility" if I like to have 
a11y-related options.
