8 * scripts/casper-bottom/30accessibility && ubiquity-hooks/30accessibility:
9 - Remove the fast user switch applet from the top panel, to re-enable
10 the logout/shutdown menu options in the system menu. This is done for
11 the speech and braille accessibility profiles. Requiring several
12 keyboard shortcuts to access something that is not entirely accessible
13 yet only makes things difficult for blind/vision impaired users, and is
14 likely to cause much confusion if sed menu entries are not present.

2267 and thus share its user-adding code rather than duplicating it.

2361 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
2362 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)

2364 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
