Re: [orca-list] Making gnucash accessible

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Nolan:

I played with gnucash a little bit just now.  It looks like the
transaction area is made up of some custom controls that are not very
accessible.  I think some work may need to be done in gnucash to expose
the information.  :-(

PS - See also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424528 for the
Orca bug we're using to track this.
