Accessibility and the graphics stack

Actually, they do not make this mistake, the windows language bar for example let the user map different locales to the same layout from day one (it certainly helped that it was originally written by the office team which understands text constrains; but it was never restricted to office unlike the various toys we get *nix-side)

You can see from dstone denials understanding still has not come to the X/wayland devs (so much the pity)
