Making the needed enhancements to the AtSpi2 screen driver is something I've
actually had an interest in doing for quite a while. I don't personally use the
graphical environemnt, i.e. I don't use Orca, so I don't know how good (or bad)
it is, and, until now (i.e. I think you may be the first), noone has clearly
expressed an opinion so other things seemed to be more important.
