Graham,
A screen reader is software that allows visually challenged or visually
impaired people to understand what is currently on their computer
screen. It allows them to find the right control so they can press the
return key or space bar to activate that control and it allows them to
hear text that is displayed on the screen. A very well-known screen
reader is JAWS but there are quite a few other commercial and
open-source screen readers available. I believe the term "accessibility"
is most appropriate in this matter.

I feel a bit Richmond-ish asking this (whether this is a good thing or a bad
thing I leave as an exercise for the reader), but what is a screen reader in
this context, and how and why has the very wide-ranging term ‘accessibility’
been hijacked in relation to it? I ask as an ignorant observer, but you never
know, I might one day want to follow the path that Phil is taking (so far
unsuccessfully, but probably it will be made to work in time).
I suppose I’m getting too old to keep up with all this, but if anyone has a
moment to explain, I’d be grateful.

Has anyone been able to make desktop stacks work with screen readers? I'm experimenting
with the Mac's VoiceOver utility (included with OS X), and VO doesn't know how to
interact with a stack - it identifies the window as "unknown" and doesn't allow
you to interact with its elements/objects.
Thanks for any tips or insights you can share any tips from your experience.
