I would like to clarify what your expectations are for TEXT and whether they 
correspond to the current reality.

The TEXT properties, you refer to, are not (yet?) defined on AtkObject. The 
signals "text_changed" and "text_caret_moved" are defined on the interface 
AtkText.

Have we decided that a text change should be notified to a user of the ATK 
interface by a notify signal on a property rather than by a signal?
