Just a test program for printing out accessibility settings (I couldn't
find *anything* in the X suite, so I coded up my own, because something
in modern desktops always turned XkbAccessXKeysMask on, even though we
wanted to have it off by default).

Given that I had no clue of the whole subsystem it's fascinating I ever
got it to work :-)

Thanks a lot
