I like 3 better.

Neither seems especially inviting.
1) toggling the magic accelerators distinctly from the master on off
    is going to break the master on off logic mightily.  I am using
    that as the XKB flag to inficate master enable.  Without it
    only gconf can know if the master is on or off.

2) A button back to mouse capplet.  With the extra room we now have
   lets just add some more sliders.  Sure it means we'll be
   duplicating ui.  However, that seems less irritating than the
   alternatives.  I'd advocate doing the same thing for the repeat
   keys.
