Another area of focus would be the dialog command which supports
ncurses style menus in the text console.  This is another area where
cursor tracking does not work well.  What I did yesterday while
configuring dropline-gnome for upgrade, I ended up going to a VC under
Speakup and turned off cursor tracking and used the old way of
navigating such menus under speakup.  Under gnome-terminal with Orca,
that was nearly impossible.
