Since you bring it up, let's talk about it.  There has not been a
single accessibility bug reported by the community that was closed by
the GTK+ team in two years.  The calender doesn't talk, and neither do
most images, regardless of the dedication of the original programmer.
I submit but reports with patches to GTK+, and I am among many who are
ignored.  Shall we get into specific bug reports still outstanding?
Shall we compare them to outstanding projects like Orca?
