[oats-sig] New Delay click feature in Gnome and Open Gazer

It looks like the MouseTweaks feature will land in Gnome soon

Looks like a pretty thorough proposal, and its nice to see a lot of
discussion. I think the inclusion would make it easier to develop
alternative pointers and I'm all for that.

I didn't see any mention of setting the position of the mouse pointer,
but presumably that is handled by at-spi.

The current state of opengazer is, as you say, more suited to
detecting more pronounced movements. My experiments with opengazer and
Jambu over the weekend definitely reinforced this. Though I still
think there is definitely room here for a gaze-activation, it needs to
be even grosser than opengazer usually supports, as anything that is
on-screen is far to easy to accidentally trigger.

Great news about MouseTweaks though! One more thing: any idea what is
meant by a "pointer capture area"?
