Are you in Windows? Pidgin actually uses a widget toolkit which has extensive support for screen reading and other accessibility measures. They may not work in Windows, or may require additional effort to plumb into your Windows screen reading software. The toolkit is called Gtk+, you may wish to search around the web and see if there is a standard solution for screen reading with Gtk+ on Windows. If you're not on Windows ... it really should work, and we'd love to know why it doesn't, so we can fix it. Ethan
