Oh i see, sorry about the misunderstanding then.

> About AT-SPI and D-Bus, could you implement AT-SPI support as a plugin, so it's there for those who need it but doesn't add D-BUS as a hard dependency? That's what Qt does.

I'll need to look into it, if i go into that route i'll most likely make it an optional build-time feature that is enabled by default if the relevant header files are found and try to load it dynamically instead of making it a plugin (the toolkit can be compiled as a static library to create self-contained executables). This is also what i'm doing with OpenGL support that may not always exist - the toolkit and application work, it just disables the OpenGL stuff.

But this is something i'll check in the future, at the moment the toolkit is barely usable even by people with perfect sight :-P.



Sounds like a good solution. Thanks for taking the initiative to look into this already!
