So a while ago when I was figuring out how to get OSX leopard to do fast user switching I noticed that desktop icons (in the Finder sidebar) were different between accounts.
The new 'test' account had the 'default' icon that looks like a thumbnail of the actual desktop--not the 'special folder' icon that is is the default for the Desktop folder that you would see in your Home folder...

Well, first off I got to say that navigating the text input fields is not a piece of cake.
I suppose it's a matter of getting the website that you're using to respect and enable accessibility options for the disabled. If I didn't have a hand on my mouse I'd be out of luck.
