Re: [orca-list] Orca and QT4 applications

Hi
Simply put, QT attempts to access at-spi through dbus, while at-spi  
currently uses corba. So, while QT supports at-spi in theory via dbus,  
in practice this doesn't work yet, as the official at-spi does not  
support it. This is being worked on but there's no real determining  
when this will be ready for use.
If you want an accessible GUI at the moment you need to stay away from  
QT4.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
