You are talking about a11y work on the "almost deprecated" Metacity
(maintenance), or work related with Mutter ?

I case you were talking about Mutter: I was playing a bit (really only
a bit), with mutter and gnome-shell, and was basically a hack in order
to load Cally instead of gail and "see what happens". Well, it wasn't
really amazing, but I least I was able to see and interact (although
now always) with some elements on gnome-shell. Note that this is just
a hack, I should need to make a real review of mutter/gnome-shell
code, and not just load a different atk implementation module, and
probably this will require a mixed-environment with GAIL and Cally
working together.

Anyway probably is a good idea to post about that, at least to see if
any other found some of the problems I found.

At this moment I'm only using some small amounts of time, randomly, I
hope to be able to use more effort later.
