Hi,
I'm a Windows/Mac person, so I don't even know what to ask about this, so I'm hoping for help. Someone wanted to know if Linux desktop environments have tools that do desktop software accessibility testing that looks at the accessibility properties in that environment as software is running and tools they can use to check contrast. They also wanted to understand if screen readers work in Remote Network Computing environments, which, as I have just learned, are something like Remote Desktop and virtual machines.

Thanks.

Jim
