This is the most false thing I ever heard and the most dangerous.
The GUIS like wxWIDGETS and SWT (at least under Windows), Win32 GUI, MFC, WindowsForms (.Net), are accessible out of the box and they don't require any effort from the programmer. The programmer doesn't even know that the application will also offer accessibility features.
Java SWING is not accessible out of the box, but Sun offers Java Access Bridge, a program which can be installed by the user which needs accessibility, so finally SWING GUIS are also pretty accessible (also without any effort from the programmer).

(Which is not the case of Tk, Gtk and QT.)
