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

[Olaf Jan Schmidt]

Hi Éric!

Yes, using Gtk instead of Qt for accessibility would only be  ashort-term 
solution. As a KDE developer, I totally agree.

But Bill's suggestion to keep using atk (and glib) makes sense. I am not sure 
whether you would need Java in that case - that depends very much on the 
OpenOffice internals.

Anyway, it is not totally clear yet how exactly the accessibility framework 
will look like in KDE4. KDE, GNOME, Trolltech and other players are currently 
in a very intensive discussion about this. It is therefore way too early to 
say what the best approach for OpenOffice will be. But we will keep you 
informed.

Olaf
