Or more simply, just remove the return and drop through and do the default
action for a focus event for this component (the toggle button). This is the
approach that Mike (Pedersen) has been suggesting for other similar 
problems.
In other words, the extra information is just spoken but not brailled.

I'll check that change into CVS HEAD later this morning. Thanks.

I'll leave it to Mike to say whether we should braille this extra 
information as well as
just speak it. If we were going to do that, it would be something like:

           filler = event.source.parent
           allLabels = atspi.findByRole(filler, rolenames.ROLE_LABEL)
           utterance = allLabels[0].name
           speech.speak(utterance)
           brailleRegions = brailleGen.getBrailleRegions(event.source)
           brailleRegions.append(braille.Region(utterance))
           braille.displayRegions(brailleRegions)
           return

I haven't tested this, so it might need tweaking.

Mike, which would you prefer for our default planner.py script?

Javier, note that you can always have your own personal copy
of this script in your ~/.orca/orca_scripts/ directory. If you put it
in there, don't forget to create an empty __init__.py file in the same
directory so that it'll correctly get picked up.
