	Right; that should be pretty easy.

	Well - I guess what you need to do is grab at-spi/test/simple-at,
grunge that into the panel applet example, add
gnome-speech/test/test-foo and you're pretty much there ;-)
Unfortunately, the massive range of impairments means that it's unlikely
for us to be able to provide a perfect solution for everyone out of the
box [ I think ].

	HTH,
