Hi,

I have done a study of "Stock Ticker" applet from the accessibility
perspective.

Applet Name :  gtik - "Stock Ticker"

Description of the Applet :      "Its a scrolling stock ticker applet and
gets a page from
                                               Yahoo finance for the stock
symbols that are being
                                               entered into the properties
dialog".

Custom Widgets :     No Custom Widgets present

Required AtkInterface :

When this applet is launched through panel it creates a drawing area
by calling gtk_drawing_area_new().  Both end of the drawing area
has left-shift (<<) and right-shift(>>) buttons for scroll change.
The stock symbols to display and the update frequency can be
configurable through properties dialog box.

It saves the fetched html file from yahoofinance to our home directory
and then parses the HTML to get the data it will scroll.

This text data is written on the drawing area using gdk calls
gdk_draw_text() etc. Note that the parent of the GtkDrawingArea is
GtkWidget so the AtkComponent interface is inherited.
