Re: [orca-list] Skype's not accessible, but...

[Christopher Gray <chris bayareadigital us>]

Hello:

This is interesting and appreciated information.  Using Skype on Ubuntu is 
definitely part of my medium-term plan so thank you for the help.

Is there an understanding of why Skype is so inaccessible on Linux?  Is this 
something that can be addressed in time with Orca scripting?

My first guess is that the QT4 dependency could be a problem because it seems to 
be related to KDE rather than Gnome?

Thanks.

Chris
