Hi, list,

I posted this to the vinux group earlier today but thought that this forum
might be interested as wel.  Ther is now a debian package of the qt-at-spi
bridge it seems.  Actually, it's a package built by one of the kde
developers for the Kubuntu experimental port.  KDE, anyone? Here is the ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/experimental

Does it work?  Well, here's a quote for your digestion.  Please take note of
the final sentence.  One of those bombshells people just sort of drop
casually on you:

title:  usb-creator in suse; accessibility in Qt, it speaks!

"More successful was packaging qt-at-spi, a plugin to get Qt talking to
AT-SPI2. Qt 4 has always had accessibility but while it has worked on
Windows and Mac it has never been plugged into the AT-SPI interface used by
Linux. This is because AT-SPI used Bonobo which used CORBA and nobody wants
to implement CORBA if they can at all avoid it. So Nokia and others worked
on AT-SPI2 which uses DBus. Unfortunately AT-SPI2 has been a long time
coming, but now it is stabalising and getting ready for use. Frederick
Gladhorn has taken up the Qt plugin to talk AT-SPI 2 and you can find it in
the Kubuntu Experimental PPA.

It takes some fiddling to get it to work and the end result is crashy. I had
to install at-spi2-core, libatk-adaptor, python-pyatspi2 as well as orca the
screen reader. Then set some gconf settings to tell orca to use AT-SPI2
(gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-dbus
--type bool true; gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba
--type bool false). Force some environment variables export
GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge; export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 and finally orca will
read my Qt applications. Yay."
