[Kde-accessibility] Re: accessibility problem for visual impairment

[Jeremy Whiting]

As with qt-atspi to use any Qt accessibility in linux you have to have
QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 in your environment before starting a qt application to
enable qt accessibility.

Tried that here and it actually works pretty well (kaccessible). KAccessible
itself has been in kdeaccessibility since July 2010, so it was part of the
4.6 release iirc.
