I don't know about that. Mouse Keys was broken for at least 2 Fedora
releases (it would do the moves but not the clicks) and my bug about
that was handled in the typical GNOME/Fedora fashion, ie. ignored until
they could close it with reference to the next version.

Maybe wrt visual handicaps you are right, but wrt keyboard access to
everything that "normal" users do with the mouse, I violently disagree.
I use bspwm now and it is the _very best_ interface I ever had, freeing
me from the authoritarian rodent for hours at a time.
