Hi Will, hi list!

I've been reading some things about Gnome accessibility framework in 
general, and IIRC there are certain problems with Java apps and other 
apps supporting AT-SPI, but I'm not sure about what are they... is this 
right?

Gnome App   [Gtk+ ---> GAIL]   --->   ATK   ---> AT-SPI
Java App   [Swing]   --->   Java Accessibility Framework   --->   AT-SPI

And in the near future:
KDE4 App [>=Qt4.2]   ------>   AT-SPI
(once AT-SPI is ported to use D-Bus instead of CORBA as now...)

The Java apps I've tried (i.e. Eclipse) say "Not accessible", but then 
it correctly speaks the menus and options, so... what happens exactly 
there? and what are the problems today with them? I couldn't find more 
info about this :(

Thanks!

BTW Will, are you aware about the International Conferences of Free 
Software in Badajoz (Spain)? Are you going to come? :)

Jorge.
