Hi Elena,

We are interested in fixing up voiceover support. Growl 2 was released
without consideration for voiceover because of a few problems that needed
to be addressed, and simply put we just haven't done it yet.

If you could provide a list of any other issues with Growl or any of our
other applications with voiceover, we'd appreciate it.

Chris
