Gitso doesn't work for the blind/visually impaired.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I recently installed my own rendition of Gitso on someones computer who happens 
to be visually impaired and they use JAWS as their text-to-speech software.  
I've actually done a lot of work for the blind in the last few years and JAWS 
is the most popular TTS screen reader out there.

The problem I encountered primarily has to do with the fact that nothing can be 
interacted with using the Tab/Shift-Tab keyboard shortcuts.  Often times when 
you open a window with buttons and text boxes, you can tab through them and as 
you pass each item the TTS software describes what you're tabbing through.

Have you encountered any VNC applications that support this?

It's simply a matter of being able to control Gitso with nothing but the 
keyboard.  Has nothing to do with screen reading software really.  If you can 
load JAWS, hit the tab key enough to make it "highlight" the start button, and 
use the enter key or space bar to "click" it, then you're golden.  Most 
programs allow for keyboard functionality, but Gitso (for now) seems to 
absolutely require the use of a mouse to interact with it.

The issue is a wxpanel is required.  Everything else is there.  Placing 
controls directly on a wxframe disables the tabing.
