Just to follow up on this, I've been lurking for a while in these parts, but 
can I ask what exactly *is* the status of KDE accessibility? Aside from the 
instructions on building qt-at-spi (which are very clear and helpful; but 
where next?), the various websites seem somewhat out of date or unclear as to 
where matters stand currently.

Am I right in thinking that (at least with regard to visual impairment) the 
main plan is to enable KDE apps to interact with orca through qt-at-spi, but 
that at the moment no KDE apps are enabled thus? Is there a workplan, as such, 
for this or KDE Accessibility in general?  

No criticism intended - just interested in things moving forwards (and should 
be able to help out, although not in a big way for a couple of months).

Cheers
