Well if nobody is going to address it before the release, then yeah sure.
However, given the above and the fact that there is already a codepath
disabling the screen-modality when accessibilty methods are active, would it be
accptable if I came up with a path that always disables the keyboard grab and
background screenshot for now until this is properly redesigned?
