Hi, Mattias,

I found this link for you which should have what you need:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Accessibility

There's a whole subheading on at-spi2 in there.

Hope this helps,

ps  I am glad you are taking this on.  I am very keen to hear what your
observations are.  To my deep chagrin, time and circumstances don't let me
just get in there and tinker right now.  Most of my energies are going
towards finalizing getting the house ready for our new baby girl.  She's due
at the end of May!
