    <para>The <application>GAIL</application> package provides accessibility
    support for <application>GTK+</application> and
    <application>libgnomecanvas</application> by implementing AtkObjects for
    widgets in <application>GTK+</application> and
    <application>libgnomecanvas</application>. The
    <application>GAIL</application> library is a
    <application>GTK+</application> module. This module is normally used with
    the atk-bridge <application>GTK+</application> module from
    <application>AT-SPI</application> to allow an assistive technology, e.g., a
    screenreader, to query or drive the program.</para>
