Re: QT-AT-SPI in Fedora 17

Do you have /etc/profile.d on your system? This worked for me when 
creating the package build for qt-at-spi in the Arch User Repository, 
and may work on other systems as well. From a terminal, type

echo "export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1" > qt-accessibility.sh
sudo install -m 755 qt-accessibility.sh /etc/profile.d

Now log out of Gnome and login again. The next time you run vlc or any 
other QT application, it should speak, at least a little. Note: 
qt-at-spi depends on qt 4.8 or later, a working at-spi2-core or whatever 
Fedora calls the at-spi2 core package and a working DBus, which should 
already be running if you are using GDM to login. If your system is 
still running at-spi 1.x, qt applications will not speak at all. Hope 
this helps get your qt apps talking.
