Particularly for a choice of GTK 2 (or the forthcoming QT4 -- but that's rather far afield). The accessibility support that comes in the box with GTK now would not only make it a viable option for the eyes-free user like me, but would provide all kinds of percs--like everything you might need to script, etc. It would certainly also obviate any need to update Ardour KS (which was a noble thought but doomed from the start to go out of sync). I guess I'm trying to make everyone aware that the ATK choice matters from the U-I point of view. > > Greg > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
