[plt-scheme] DrScheme and accessibility (Choose a language)

Out of curiosity, I started up VoiceOver under OSX 10.4 to try a few 
things. I didn't do a fresh install for this test; I tried it with both 
v209 and v300, binary installs.

I opened up the languages selection panel; VoiceOver reported that there 
were 72 items, and then went silent. Navigating the language list with 
the keyboard reports nothing. Likewise, clicking on languages in the 
flippy-list and clicking on UI elements that configure the language 
choice (debugging/profiling, output, etc.) are all silent.

I suspect WxWindows is not a full-peer, and therefore the assistive 
technologies don't know how to handle them.
