The wxWidget team has to implement the gail layer to make all its widget accessibility enabled. The accessibility of wxWidget supports MS Accessibility as of now - http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/technote/wxaccesstips.htm and that document seems to be updated by 2004. Some one has to work on that. If that layer is ready, I'm sure all the wxWidget applications will be a11y enabled and LDTP can access them.
