The atk-bridge is application side only. It is important for making KDE
accessible to Gnome-based assistive technologies short-term, but it does not
help us to add AT-SPI support to KMousetool, NoKey and Gunnar's new
magnifier. There is no IDL compiler for CORBA that generates Qt bindings, and
forcing to KDE based assistive technologies to manually bridge between
gobject and qobject based APIs makes no sense. Writing a new IDL compiler for
CORBA does not make much sense either if we can directly go for DBUS.
Of course full interoperability will only be available once a DBUS IDL
compiler has also been written for the Gnome side, but my understanding was
that you plan to write one anyway in the medium term perspective.
