Re: [orca-list] Icon Tray

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

I would think that it is necessary to have the ability to put a name on an 
icon.  Experience has taught me that the accessible name is not always 
there and if it is it may not be meaningful therefore the user should be 
able to attach a name.
