Regarding GUI toolkits that support accessibility directly there's some
information about Qt attached. Rosegarden and MusE both use Qt/KDE and
both support softsynths through the ALSA seq interface so there might
be some benefit in attempting to use these apps under Qt3.0 directly.

Hard to tell. Nothing too serious at the moment I'm afraid.

"Accessibility
Accessibility means making software usable and accessible to a wide
range of users, including those with disabilities. In Qt 3.0, most
widgets provide accessibility information for assistive tools that can
be used by a wide range of disabled users. Qt standard widgets like
buttons or range controls are fully supported. Support for complex
widgets, like e.g. QListView, is in development. Existing applications
that make use of standard widgets will become accessible just by using
Qt 3.0.
Qt uses the Active Accessibility infrastructure on Windows, and needs
the MSAA SDK, which is part of most platform SDKs. With improving
standardization of accessibility on other platforms, Qt will support
assistive technologies on other systems, too. "
Now that's all nice and dandy but it doesn't say anything about what
this "accessibility information" is, which platforms it works with,
etc... Anyway, it will be there at some point, yes.
