Title:
  Sticky Keys and Slow Keys popups ignore notification daemon
  capabilities

Bug description:
  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.
