First off, I get this error in Launchpad: "gnome-mouse-properties" does
not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package. If you're
unsure, please select "I don't know"

Running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, Nautilus 2.22.2, etc., gnome-mouse-
properties (which is advertised in GNOME's 2.22 release notes
(http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/#rna11y)) is
inaccessible and unusable.

Steps to reproduce
===========
1) Run 'gnome-mouse-properties' either through a terminal or by clicking 
"System > Preferences > Mouse"
2) You should be under the General tab -- click the 'Accessibility' tab
3) Under 'Simulated Secondary Click', try to enable 'Trigger secondary click by 
holding down the primary button' or under 'Dwell Click', try to enable 
'Initiate click when stopping pointer movement'
4) Error dialog: '<b>Assistive Technologies not enabled</b>\n Mousetweaks 
requires Assistive Technologies.'

What should happen
===========
The preferences should be enabled automatically with no form of error

What currently happens
===========
An error dialog appears telling the using that 'Mousetweaks requires Assistive 
Technologies' but doesn't state where or how to enable it.

This is an accessibility problem as its a generic error and it gives no
assistance to the user to tell them how to enable 'Assistive
Technologies'. I was lucky enough to know I could find 'Assistive
Technologies' under 'System > Preferences > Assistive Technologies'.
Others may not be so lucky.
