I was trying to use AtkObject for the names.

When i load the application with ferret, and focus on the drawing area
(where the names appear), there is no description for this in ferret.
i.e. Ferret does not seem to recognize this widget. I also tried by
setting the menu option to mouse track. And it did not recognize the
drawing area.

The drawing area has a GdkRectangle and the names are drawn on this
rectangle. Is that the reason ? 

I am stuck as, how to set up the AtkObject in this case. So please
provide me with information, to go ahead with this.


Any idea would help !

Thanks,
Deepa.
