Hi.

This could involve more porting with Pigeon code itself than scripting
for the moment. The Windows port relies on a graphical toolkit which
from what I can gather, Window-Eyes doesn't support. So, much of the
Window-Eyes object model for intercepting individual control events
and the like, probably won't have much effect.

I don't actually know anything at all about how GTK works. This is
just my attempt at explaining why Window-Eyes and other assistive
technology has such a hard time with gtk-based Windows ports.
Personally I think it's a shame these projects don't make use of a
library such as wxwidgets, but then I could well be missing something
here as I'm not a C++ programmer.

Are there any constructive steps we can take to fix this with
Window-Eyes as it is now? Of course Pigeon is open-source, so there's
nothing stopping anyone with sufficient skills from porting it to
native win32.
