Sticky Keys

gnome-sticky-keys-applet is a small panel applet for GNOME that displays
the sticky keys state. It is small, un-fancy and a half a day hack so
keep your expectations small, it gets the job done however. 

It displays a label that shows a capital letter when a modifier is
locked and a lower case letter when a modifier is latched.

I don't plan to do further development but wanted to make it available
in case someone out there is annoyed at not knowing the sticky keys
state as I was. You can download the tarball from
http://www.gnome.org/~chema/sticky-keys/download/
