Yes, but I don't think there is another way. It should be fast enough tho,
comparing to speech synthesis ;) What about querying for all QLabels and
building a QPtrDict which maps all widgets to their respective
buddy-labels (if they have one)? Lookup is very fast, then.

Ahh, this is getting really interesting. Another interesting direction is
Bodytalk (that's what it was called, right?), I'd really like to know a
little more about it.

/me just imagines a little class that encapsulates all the speech
synthesis stuff and offers a slot KSpeech::say( const QString& ) and
hooking up ksirc to that :)

BTW, whoever hacked ksirc lately, I tried it yesterday, and it worked
pretty well - THANKS a bunch :)

Cheers,
