Well, I still don't understand this GUI managing thingy. Can you explain th=
e=20
difference between what will be and what is now? In terms of how to use it =
or=20
what will change from a user perspective?

Hang on, this should not break the apps though. If there are three differen=
t=20
actions the user can initiate, that's fine; then you can map them to ?MB or=
=20
some keyboard shortcuts in the systray and tell the app the semantic action=
=2E=20
So this would not be "tying this to ?MB" but rather having three actions th=
at=20
can be configured of how to trigger them.

However, the way I understood this up to now is that you want to remove=20
functionality that is not accessible by impaired users and thus effectively=
=20
remove the functionality from the normal users as well. That is certainly=20
wrong.
