[Bug 87655] GNOME uses the phrase "click here"

[Noah Slater]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome

The GNOME desktop uses the phrase "click here" as a call to action.

For an example, hover your mouse over the "show desktop" button on the
bottom panel.

This is bad for accessibility because it alienates anyone who does not
use a pointing device which requires "clicking" to activate. Some people
use the keyboard to navigate and some people may use voice commands.
Ubuntu could be installed on a device without a mouse, say, a Pocket PC
for example. In these environments the "click" metaphor breaks down.

The words "click here" should be replaced with "select" which is much
more device independant.

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
