This should have been QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1 but it is not required as the documentation stands:

In the Unix/X11 AT-SPI implementation, applications become accessible when two conditions are met:

org.a11y.Status.IsEnabled DBus property is true
org.a11y.Status.ScreenReaderEnabled DBus property is true

An alternative to setting the DBus AT-SPI properties is to set the QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON environment variable.

So the org.a11y.bus=talk should be enough

This shouldn't be required, the AT-SPI module is built with Gtk itself so the default paths should be enough
