Hi Steve,

Accessibility is already built-in if you use GTK widgets.  The problem
is the wx widgets toolkit which doesn't implement the necesary
accessibility support on Linux.  The solution is to push wx widgets
developers to take accessibility seriously.  If they don't know people
care, they don't have motivation...

Best regards,
