One thing I've noticed is that I cannot use Orca flat review in Qt apps, which was also the case with Qt 4. So I've set about trying to work out why this is. I initially thought it was due to Orca not having a script to work with Qt apps, i.e a toolscript similar to the cally and gail scripts, but I figured there was more to it than that. So far, I've come to the conclusion that the app toolkit in use, i.e GTK has to implement some form of key snooping to catch the appropriate keystrokes and send them to atk/at-spi.

Thanks for the explanation, this makes sense to me now.
