Hard to tell. Nothing too serious at the moment I'm afraid.=20

"Accessibility=20


Accessibility means making software usable and accessible to a wide range o=

users, including those with disabilities. In Qt 3.0, most widgets provide=20
accessibility information for assistive tools that can be used by a wide=20
range of disabled users. Qt standard widgets like buttons or range controls=

are fully supported. Support for complex widgets, like e.g. QListView, is i=

development. Existing applications that make use of standard widgets will=20
become accessible just by using Qt 3.0.=20


Qt uses the Active Accessibility infrastructure on Windows, and needs the M=

SDK, which is part of most platform SDKs. With improving standardization of=

accessibility on other platforms, Qt will support assistive technologies on=

other systems, too. "

Now that's all nice and dandy but it doesn't say anything about what this=20
"accessibility information" is, which platforms it works with, etc... Anywa=

it will be there at some point, yes.
