Yes, that is correct. GTK1 is not accessible, but GTK2 adds
accessibility to most of the default widgets, and has a framework (ATK) for
application programmers to make custom GTK2 widgets accessible too (by
providing the accessibility information whereever needed.)

I am not sure if such a wrapper really exists. It might help in some cases,
but in the long run, its probably much better to patch the app in question
to use GTK2 instead.

In my book, its TollTechs responsibility to make Qt accessible from
the grounds up, we shouldn't bend tail over head to get accessible
Qt apps. That should only add to the competition of desktops IMO.
