Since Gnopernicus is for Gnome it would be a significant effort to port this to the QT based Sharp ROMs.  KDE is lacking in the accessibility department, but according to this article:

There is an effort under way to make KDE more accessible.  I think this is a great idea.  The easiest port for Gnopernicus would be to pdaxrom at this time.  Looks like a difficult, but rewarding project.
