I do remember that being a bit hectic :) I must say you've done an 
amazing job putting this stuff together though, Luke. Three cheers for Luke!

If you can send me some details (the gconf settings used) I can contact 
upstream and see if they can be of any help.

Right, that might need some fresh parsing code (to read xorg.conf), 
which may not be worth it since magnification seems likely to change 
greatly soon. However, almost anything seems better than the current 
default. Where is it getting it from, can we hard code something 
different? I'd be comfortable with assuming a 1024x768 monitor at this 
point and setting the window on the lower half of that. Should work 
fairly well for most as a start.

Yep, that needs testing. I ran it through at-poke yesterday. It does 
contain the text strings, but beyond that I don't really know what 
information it should present or how. None of the window elements had 
any descriptions associated with it.

Cool, rock!
