If you're on the right mailing lists, you'll hear a lot about the accessibility of X11 desktops, especially Gnome, but also the early development of accessibility for KDE. Other desktop environments, notably XFCE, have received some attention too. In short, there is work underway in all of these areas. How useful these environments are depends on what you need to do with them and on how accessible the particular applications are that you might want to run in your X session.
