Yes, i think we can use gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget() to set the LABEL_FOR
relation.
We still need to have code in the application to set the LABELLED_BY
relation, right?

The GnomeHint widget has 4 GnomeCanvasItems namely the background image, the
logo image,
the title text and the hint text. So i'm planning to set the AtkObject name
for the
canvas item to the title text and AtkObject description to the hint text.
Wouldn't
that be sufficient?

Also, i don't feel the need to give AtkImage interface for the logo that is
displayed
because it doesn't convey much information to the user. The user would be
more interested
in the hint text that is displayed.

comments/thoughts?

NOTE: Presently GnomeHint is not used. To see the GUI, we can use the
test-hint program
in gnome-desktop/libgnome-desktop. It requires a hint file, a background
image and a logo
image. In GNOME 1.4, it can be run by clicking on the panel -> programs ->
utilities -> startup hint.
