OK, but please be careful not to un-mark any strings that might be getting
re-used by ATK implementations inside the libraries - i.e. grep for
atk_object_set_name/...atk_object_set_description, and
atk_action name/description implementation code.  I assume that if the 
properties aren't
exposed by public API in the libraries that they aren't used in libgail, 
but there's a chance
that one of these properties could be exported via the ATK implementation.
