I'm not sure now myself :-) >From the reading I have one it seems like it is a way to interact with the speech interface and other AT tools. The wizard is designed for blind/deaf and mobility impaired users. It currently calls spd-say for every user/button action and when it has some text that needs to be communicated. I was intending to add at-spi support as an option in the next dev phase. All the settings are managed with gconf where possible and/or written directly to file where gconf is not available. I was not aware of the move to gsettings but will keep and eye on it from now on. I will appreciate if you can relay any info you hear about the development in relation to a11y settings. I can send you a pre-release tarball if you want to get a better idea. Cheers.
