I think that it's Gnome that give Ubuntu its accessibility functionality; there's a KDE accessibility project too - don't know if it's as advanced as the Gnome one. But that's really all academic for me as you can take Fluxbox out of my cold, dead hands ;-)

As far as this discussion goes, I would tend to steer clear of GTK. In the nearly 8 years that I've been running Linux on the destkop, I have seen far too many problems with applications not installing correctly due to various GTK dependencies. This doesn't give me a lot of confidence for developing cross-platform applications. There is GTK for Windows, but I'd be inclined to wait for it all to be more mature and mainstream before I considered it as a front-end for cross-platform Perl apps.
