High contrast mode not using correct theme

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Booting the live CD with F5+choice2 should start gnome with settings optimised for low vision users. Current, the setup uses a hybrid theme which includes the high contrast icons, but not the widgets and the larger font.

A 'High Contrast with Large Print' theme is fully installed on the live system, so it's just a matter of a few clicks to activate the right theme. I'm not sure what config parameters need to be set to make this work from first boot, but I'll work with Luke and others to find out and post more when I know.

Also: We have agreed to use a plain single-colour background for this theme (light gray?). There should also be a large mouse cursor. xcursor-themes has been promoted to main for this purpose. (again, I'll work on finding the required settings).

Fixed in my tree, will be committed shortly.

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * casper-bottom/30accessibility:
    - Removed stale reference to acessx_applet.
    - Fix some typos for gconf values that had to be set as lists.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Pass debian-installer/locale to /root's debconf db (closes: Malone
    #41896).
  * Identify ourselves as casper when communicating with debconf.
  * Factor out preseeding code into casper-preseed; this knows that it only
    needs to register a question if it fails to set it, which saves memory
    by avoiding debconf having to rewrite templates.dat.
  * Preseed kbd-chooser/method as well as debian-installer/keymap, so that
    kbd-chooser run from ubiquity picks up the selected keyboard (closes:
    Malone #42202).
  * Use new dpkg-reconfigure --no-reload option (debconf 1.4.72ubuntu6) to
    avoid needlessly rewriting templates.dat.

  [ Tollef Fog Heen ]
  * Add ... to the end of all usplash messages. Malone #43856
  * Add maybe_break casper-bottom to allow breaking before running bottom
    scripts. Malone #43860
  * Don't show the name of the live cd user that's added.
  * Mount COW filesystem if show-cow is present on the kernel command line.
    Malone #43687
  * Disable the Kubuntu update notifier too. Malone #43806
  * Disable hibernation and enable sleep where appropriate. Malone #23882
