[Kde-accessibility] OpenOffice and KDE4 Accessiibilty [was: Orca/KDE Integration]

[Olaf Jan Schmidt]

Hi Bill!

The Qt integration of OpenOffice aims to make OpenOffice blend in nicely with 
KDE. Of course it makes sense for the integration code to also support 
accessibility features.

Is the Java accessibility bridge independent of the widget style that is used 
in OpenOffice, i.e. does it run both with the Gtk and the Qt integration 
code? If this is the case, then I agree that extra work would be totally 
unnecessary here. Otherwise I see no reason to discourage the KDE integration 
developers from considering accessibility in their code - even if OpenOffice 
could use Gtk as an accessibility fallback for KDE in the short term.

Olaf
