Ok now here is the question. Granted I have not done much with linux giving it up for a bad job but the last time I checked orca did not work with qt based aps. Considering the fact that skype is a qt based ap isn't it quite inaccessible? If this has changed this will be good news. I was never impressed with access to the gui in linux.
