Trying out ATK / AT-SPI

[Jacob Uhrenholt <kreel futarque com>]

Hey all,

I'm new to the gnome accessibility concept, but from what I can read
this could very well be what I need. Before I delve head-on into this
however, I'd like to run this by everyone here to get a
bearing on whether or not I'm on the right track.

I need to be able to control a gnome app using a remote control
(i.e. using the up/down, left/right buttons to signal my app - cycling
through widgets for instance). Using an onscreen keyboard or an
alternate interaction app like gok directly is not an option - only my
own application may be visible. As I said, I think this can be
accomplished (gok can, so I should be able to do it as well :D), but
I'd like a second oppinion.

With that said: I've been looking about the net for some in-depth
information about ATK and AT-SPI, but have yet to strike gold so to
speak (well, except these nice folk -
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/). I'm specifically looking for
manuals and working examples. I'd appreciate any pointers you might have.

Cheers,

Jacob
