Re: [orca-list] Developing GTK applications (in Python) as a blind developer

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Indeed, i have been doing the same thing, trying to work out how to work 
glade-2 or glade-3.

The ironic thing is that the accessibility tab has a wheel-chair 
picture, but there is no associated text.

Further more, the property section, the fields are reasonably ok, but 
none of the associated property labels are read. I am assuming that they 
are not using the "labelled-by" or "label-for" tags that they suggest 
other people to use.

yes, one could edit glade files by hand, or have them created using text 
transforms, but this relies on being able to remember gtk widget names, 
properties and list of associated signals.

it would be good if we could have an accessible version of glade-3.
