Ray spent some time trying to get orca to say more reasonable things
when navigating the user list, but apparently treeview a11y is hard to
master. Maybe some of the nice people on gnome-accessibility-devel could
help us out here. Having a nice, documented example for setting up
treeview a11y would be most appreciated, and I'd add that to the GTK+
docs in a jiffy, should it appear...

We haven't solved the 'carry a11y setup into the session' problem yet.
