These features are all already implement, these are all options which
already exist in the keyboard a11y capplet; moving this code the
keyboard capplet should be pretty straight-forward. So moving tabs into
dialogs and dialogs into tabs is pretty much what is left to be done
before we can start hacking.

About the expanders: I know the solution is suboptimal, but maybe the
only feasible one. Other ideas are very welcome.
