Hi, just a quick update from my side: Qt 4.8.0 has been released which includes tons of accessibility fixes. In fact it's the first release that I would recommend to test on Linux. In addition to Qt you need the qt-at-spi bridge from http://gitorious.org/qt- at-spi Just grab the master branch (and bug me to make a proper release). I belive the state of both Qt and the bridge to be now good enough to be used. Feedback from users is appreciated now. You should simply use the usual Gnome accessibility tools such as Orca and try Qt and KDE applications. Bugs, especially crashes, go into http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com . Cheers Frederik PS: known issues: still requires "QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1" environment variable to be set no accessibility for either GraphicsView or QML/QtQuick trees not fully working multi line text seems a bit broken on my machine at the moment PPS: we finally landed the first accessibility patch in QML, so for Qt 5 the future looks bright.
