Indeed we shouldn't, but the menu system is more efficient for a lot of
people without accessibility needs too, so I'm still against getting rid
of it altogether.  Both Windows XP (dunno about Vista) and Mac OS X
allow menu access to individual control panels if desired, and it seems
unlikely to me that we've done more user research than they have.

Cheeri,
