A problem: in gtk-demo, there is one object called "Editable Cells" in GtkTreeView,
and I 
can do action "edit" on "table-cell" with AT-poke, but can not change it's
Text content in AT-poke 
like TextView mentioned above, I think the table-cell has a text input area
 child, and it should have
Text and Editable interface, is my thought correct?

Sorry to tell you I'm a QA, and know little about technical
 :-(  If you have done, I 
will do the part of testing   :-P

I know you are busy in many things of gnome, if you can spend some time on
AT-poke,
we in ATF team will save time instead of studing your code and then adding
some codes.
Thanks a lot for your help :-)
