Re: [g-a-devel]Accessibility for cdplayer applet

This looks OK to me.  I think that creating separate information for 
descriptions which is simply a longer version of the name information may 
not be extremely useful.  I think description should provide additional 
information about the context of the widget or its specific use in a 
particular application.
