Ok.  I'll have to think about this some more and read your email a
couple more times.  At the moment my brain is flooded with acronym
soup.
In principle I would rather cooperate with Harald and create a proper
framework instead of working on some one-off hack.   I'm going to be
starting my masters in April or September, which will be based around
a complete environment tailored to accessibility, so hopefully I'll be
much more involved then.

Just one question though, I was under the impression that Qt4
supported AT-SPI out of the box, but apparently to actually talk to
Qt4 applications with an accessibility client, we either need an IDL
compiler for DBUS or bindings for DBUS-AT-SPI.  Also, I gather that
the IDL compiler is a better solution, but Harald is working on the
bindings.  Soo..  Never mind, I don't think I understand it enough to
formulate a question yet ;)

Christmas cheers,
Leo
