I like the balloon idea. But there is an existing applet which is almost as good.

The accessx-status panel applet will tell you whether mouse keys is on or off. First make sure the gnome-applets package is loaded. Then right-click on the gnome panel, usually at the top and/or bottom of your screen. Select "Add To Panel", then scroll down and select "Keyboard Accessibility Status". Click Add. This will add an icon to your panel: with mouse keys off it looks like a wheelchair symbol, with mouse keys on it looks like a 3-button mouse.
