Hello. I wouldn't go as far to say it is the wrong approach, but I do 
believe it should not be the only means of configuration. There will be 
those Windows converts who's major gripe with Linux and other gnu 
operating systems is there is not enough gui configuration. There are 
the console die-hards that absolutely want the power of the console. The 
only medium between the two extremes is to provide both methods of 
configuration.
We must remember a console die-hard can't convert a gui die-hard to a 
console die-hard and the other way around. So providing both I feel is 
the best solution here.
One last point Janina's point of view generally stems from the 
contention if the gui isn't properly configured for access then the 
console must be used. This is true. However, if the gui is working with 
accessibility then there is nothing saying the gui screen reader like 
Orca can't be used to do configurations in a gui environment, and gui 
tools can be used.
