Mouse keys tab analysis.

'Mouse Keys' is an unusual term. It suggests that mice have keys, which isn't what this tab is about. 'Mouse Keys' is not a part of GNOME Style Guide recommended terminology [1].

The checkbox label in the 'Mouse Keys' tab also uses non-standard terminology. It reads 'Pointer can be controlled using the keypad'. 'Keypad' is not commonly recommended. The GNOME Style Guide recommends using the term 'Mouse Pointer' instead of 'Pointer' where possible. The use of 'can be' in this string is not standard terminology either, since it implies conditionality.

Another issue with the Mouse Keys tab: the sliders in the tab are indented, which isn't necessary and results in an untidy visual appearance.

Possible ways to address these issues include:

 * Remove the indentation of the sliders so that they are aligned with the checkbox.
 * Change the tab label from 'Mouse Keys' to 'Pointer'.
 * Change the checkbox label to 'Control mouse pointer using numeric keypad'.

This bug is part of the design review that can be found on the usability whiteboard [2]. An analysis of the general tab is attached. A mockup of the proposed changes can be found on the whiteboard page.
