That's great! More testing is good :)

I think I understand how this will work, but let me ask a few questions 
just to be sure.

A default schema setting is used. This does either:
(a) turns AT on for anyone running 2.17 who has *not* made an explicit 
choice on that themselves, or
(b) turns AT on for anyone installing or creating a new user with 2.17

(please excuse my lack of understanding of how schemas work)


If (b) is the case:

* then people upgrading from Edgy to a Feisty test version would not 
have AT switched on (which is fine, we also see lots of fresh installs 
so there would still be plenty of testing)
* and how do we back the change out again towards the end of the testing 
period? Just removing the patch or letting gnome go to 2.18 won't do it 
because people's gconf keys will already be set

Also if someone who needs the AT features installs the testing version 
they could risk having AT disappear on them at some point in the 
process. Also not a big problem, because if you are using a test version 
you can expect odd things to happen. Would there be a way for them to 
prevent this though if they set the gconf key explicitly?
