[Oneiric-Topic] Accessibility review of ubiquity.,

So, with the ongoing work to make unity more accessible, and to make the whole accessibility experience better, one area that hasn't been given enough attention is the installer. Given that it uses webkit for the slideshow, and has some nice looking, but not 100% accessible layouts, users often get confused about what the installer is asking them, and in the case of Orca, they need to review the entire window to get an idea of where they are. Added to that, some labels aren't tagged properly in the backend for accessibility purposes.

Since ubiquity will likely be moving to pigi/gtk3, this is a good time to go over it, and add more atk code where its needed to make things work better. If we can also do something to make the slideshow available somehow, that would also be useful.
