Folks,
One of my long-standing annoyances with X11.app is that it doesn't
give *any* info to the accessibility API about its windows. The
accessibility API is really handy for doing things like moving windows
programmatically, enabling useful apps like Witch and my own app
Forget-Me-Not. Unfortunately, I have to special-case X11 and do a
bunch of Xlib hackery just to get my app to work with X11, and authors
of other programs generally can't be bothered to do the same.
Now that Apple seems willing to accept outside patches I would be
willing to try to add some accessibility support myself, if I knew
where to look. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. My
concern in the past was that I might need the quartz-wm sources to
make this happen. Does anybody know if that's the case or not?
Thanks,
-n8
