-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi To my limited knowledge of qt accessibility, qt5 applications look for whether accessibility is turned on by looking for the gnome screenreader key /org/gnome/interface/accessibility. If true, they enable accessibility. If false, they don't. I could have that wrong, but I don't think they rely on a variable. I do know that having the qt_accessibility variable exported does not negatively affect qt5 applications in any way, including accessibility. I've got both here, vlc, which uses qt4, and calibre, which uses qt5, and both talk and don't seem to conflict with each other. So setting export QT_ACCESSIBILITY to 1 will enable accessibility of qt4 applications without affecting qt5.
