Really? Can anyone else confirm this?

I'm writing an application that uses WXRuby (which, in turn, uses  
WXGTK.) Thus far, I've found it to be highly accessible. But am I  
likely to run into any accessibility issues further down? My  
understanding of WX is that it doesn't look like windows, but rather  
looks native to whatever platform you're on. On my mac, it uses  
Carbon and is only semi-accessible because Carbon isn't fully  
accessible.

BTW, I think the app in question is XMMS, and when last I checked it  
used GTK 1.2.
