You are again assuming that all full-featured linux ATs even to be written 
will use CORBA, bonobo and glib.

This will not be the case. We have several prototypes for KDE-based assistive 
technologies that are held back by the lack AT-side bindings for Qt/KDE, 
including an eye-tracking system and full-featured magnifier.
