Title:
  Should display the StickyKeys status in some way (a11y)

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-application

  Following an upgrade to Natty, I can no longer determine what state my
  stickykeys are in.  No special steps are needed to reproduce this
  issue, just being in a Unity session.

  Previously this information was provided by the gnome-panel-applet
  called "AccessX Status" which displayed a row of icons which would
  show either latched or locked for each modifier key. In GNOME 2.x, I
  would right click a panel, select "Add to Panel" and choose "Keyboard
  Accessibility Status"

  This would give me a line of 6 square icons representing Alt, Ctrl,
  Super etc. These icons change state depending on which keys are being
  (temporarily or permanently) locked by stickykeys.

  While stickykeys seems to work - in that keys are latched/locked as
  one would expect - the lack of information about their state renders
  the feature considerably less usable.  For some users, myself
  included, this is a critical a11y failure and requires using the GNOME
  2.x environment instead of Unity.

  This is now the third time I've reported this bug/problem, hopefully
  I've got it in the right place this time!  Apologies if not, and
  please do let me know where I should be reporting this if not here.
