Howdy,

in fact there has been some progress. For QT5 qt-at-spi is not needed.  
QT5 works just out of the box. you just have to set an environment  
variable to tell QT5 to expose the accessibility information.

For QT4 the qt-at-spi bridge is still needed.

here the needed environment variables for your bashrc or something  
(QT4 and QT5)
# code start
QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON
# code end

i hope this helps.

cheers chrys
