You have been assigned a bug task for a public bug by Vish (vish):

When keyboard accessibility features are turned on, gnome-settings-
daemon watches for the user pressing Ctrl multiple times or holding down
Shift for 8 seconds. When this happens, it presents a notification
bubble asking the user if he wishes to activate the corresponding
feature (Sticky Keys and Slow Keys).

Jaunty's new notify-osd falls back to popping up a dialog box. (One with
the distinct aura of not wanting to be there). In any notification
system without that kind of fallback, it would be impossible to enable
sticky or slow keys since the system blindly relies on an action button
being pressed.

Specifically, this problem lies in gnome-settings-daemon/plugins/a11y-
keyboard, with ax_slowkeys_warning_post and ax_stickykeys_warning_post.
The plugin should instead use custom alert boxes. Mockups at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#keyboard-accessibility>

I am posting this first to Launchpad instead of upstream, because I
think Ubuntu at the moment is more committed to the issue.
