In system-settings "Universal Access" is listed under "System" together
with other settings like "Users" or "Time and Date". This is confusing.
People need to know what changes affect the whole system and what only
affects their account. Currently we have this by separating
"Preferences" from "Administration".

In F15 under System we have:
      * User Accounts (system-wide)
      * Universal Access (per user)
      * System Info (not even a setting)
      * Software Updates (per user)
      * Date and Time (system-wide)
      * Color (per user unless you click "make default")

I think this list is inconsistent.
