Re: [orca-list] Linux Accessibility: qt-at-spi 0.2 released

[hackingKK <hackingkk gmail com>]

Wow, this is a great news indeed.
So can we expect a fairly accessible kde desktop with Ubuntu 12.04?
Are we going to get all these wonderful updates into kubuntu?
If not, I guess at least we can have qt atspi bridge into Ubuntu for 
running qt apps?

Happy hacking.
