I think there are 5 kind of apps that can be accessible with at-spi :

1) gnome apps : the relevant gconf key must be set to true (with 
gconftool-2 --set "/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility" --type 
boolean "True")

2) gtk apps :with  export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge

3) Mozilla (a kind of it's own :-), betterto  use 1.5 ) : with export 
GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1

4) Java apps using the Swing toolkit:
Of course you need to have gnome-java-bridge.jar available
(i.e in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/).
put
assistive_technologies=org.GNOME.Accessibility.JavaBridge
in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/accessibility.properties
and
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
in ~/.orbitrc

5) OpenOffice (version 1.1): same as 4 with export 
SAL_ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1

I think it should be (corrected an put) in a FAQ somewhere.
