GNOME has a number of assistive technologies.  Fedora Core comes with
GOK, GNOME Onscreen Keyboard.  It's not just a simple keyboard.  It can
reimplement most of the (GNOME) program's GUI within its keyboard
interface to minimize pointer movement.

Also, there's Dasher for use with eye-trackers and such:
