Bug Description
First off, I get this error in Launchpad: "gnome-
Running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, Nautilus 2.22.2, etc., gnome-mouse-
Steps to reproduce
===========
1) Run 'gnome-
2) You should be under the General tab -- click the 'Accessibility' tab
3) Under 'Simulated Secondary Click', try to enable 'Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button' or under 'Dwell Click', try to enable 'Initiate click when stopping pointer movement'
4) Error dialog: '<b>Assistive Technologies not enabled</b>\n Mousetweaks requires Assistive Technologies.'
What should happen
===========
The preferences should be enabled automatically with no form of error
What currently happens
===========
An error dialog appears telling the using that 'Mousetweaks requires Assistive Technologies' but doesn't state where or how to enable it.
This is an accessibility problem as its a generic error and it gives no assistance to the user to tell them how to enable 'Assistive Technologies'. I was lucky enough to know I could find 'Assistive Technologies' under 'System > Preferences > Assistive Technologies'. Others may not be so lucky.
