I spent some time to write a Qt bridge to atk, you can see the results on http://trolls.troll.no/~harald/accessibility/
I have linked it from http://accessibility.kde.org
Looking at the screenshot for KDE 3.2, it looks as if the main problem are unnamed widget (and custum widgets, of course).
Well, if you look into what at-poke displays for GNOME applications you will see that only widgets with textual contents have a name, so e.g., the panels do not need a name. Of course I cannot tell how much work is to be done by only looking on screen shots.
Fixing all widget names in KDE will be a lot of work, but making KDE accessibility aids as KMouth, KMag and KMousetool fully accessible will be easier. Do you think it is a realistic chance to make these apps fully accessible within KDE 3.2?
Not within KDE 3.2 (which is already in feature freeze). If I heard it correctly the screenshot for KDE 3.2 was taken with a patched Qt 3.3. Here I think Harald can tell more.
Concerning Accessible Interface implementations for the KDE widgets we do not have any chance for KDE 3.2. Maybe it would be possible to provide an extra package that provides the necessary implementations. (Do the three accessibility aids use only standard KDE widgets?)
