Unfortunately I am not sure connecting the gecko ATK work in a plugin 
environment has ever been attempted.  I made the point early on that 
this was desirable, so with luck it should be possible, but I doubt that 
it would be practical in a 2.6 timeframe either.  Keep in mind that the 
accessibility code in Mozilla had to interoperate with MSAA on Windows, 
so the ATK support is not at all straightforward in its implementation; 
Mozilla implements its own 'nsiAccessible' interfaces which are bridged 
to ATK.
