Hi Louis, I have the latest build of Mono installed under Linux so I am sure I can probably do some testing for you once I get over my respiratory infection. If you haven't noticed I've been in bed for the passed week-and-a-half fighting some very nasty sickness. Though, I will say right off that .Net stuff tends to have accessibility issues under Linux because it conforms to a non-standard graphical user interface. The way Linux screen readers works is somewhat different than say Windows screen reader technologies work. For example, any application written with the GTK+2 API is natively accessible under Linux because GTK+2 applications are supported through the Gnome Accessibility Framework. Other graphical applications that use non-standard GTK+2 must have the ATK Bridge installed to act as a bridge between API x and GTK+2. Well, when you come to these new compile and run anywhere languages they tend to have access issues with Linux screen reader technologies because they tend not to meet any sort of standards they are looking for. the screen reader just sees a blank Window. Java and .Net stuff tends to do this a lot. As for Java there is an open source access bridge which resolves most of the access hang ups with Java and Linux screen readers. I'm not sure about current versions of Mono, since I haven't had reason to test them much, but back in the early days the window would show, but Gnopernicus and Orca saw nothing there. If you want once I get back on my feet I will write up a simple C# .Net app and run it under Mono .Net and see how access is now days.
