the virtualbox GUI isn't accessible to those using screen readers

I've just upgraded to vbox 1.6.0, and would like to start off by saying thank you to Sun for making a step in the right direction, in terms of gui accessibility. As of 1.6.0, the gui isn't fully accessible though. I am running virtualbox on a winxp pro host, with window-eyes 6.1 as my screen reader. Here are the problems I found. 1. When pressing alt to access the menu bar, the menu items speak, but the menu names don't. This is true for both when alt is pressed, as well as when left/right arrow are used to move from menu to menu. 2. When tabbing from control to control in the preferences and vm settings dialogue, I've found that in order to know what control I'm on, I have to tab away from that control, and then tab back to it. If I don't do this, I just hear "custom control". 3. If I'm on a radio button, and I up/down arrow to the other radio button, I hear custom control, instead of hearing the name of the radio button, and its status. In order to hear that radio button and its status, I have to tab away from the radio buttons, and shift+tab back to that group of radio buttons.

4. Some of the controls still say custom control, no matter what I do. These seem to be list boxes. One example of such a control, is the control that let's one choose the type of guest os one is running (I.E. linux 2.4, linux 2.6, windows xp, ETC.), in the vm settings dialogue. 5. Finally, when tabbing around in the virtual disk manager, all I hear is window border, instead of custom control, or the name of the control.

Thank you once again for the progress that has been made so far, and please continue to keep up the good work. I realize that most or all of these problems may not be possible to fix further, since skype, another qt application I think, doesn't behave perfectly with window-eyes either. However, I thought I'd throw out there the problems I'm seeing so far, in the hope that gui accessibility can be improved upon even more.
