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

["Deepa Natarajan" <deepa natarajan wipro com>]

I was thinking if i set the name and description it would suffice. As,
when the widget gets focus the AT would query and i would keep the
values for the time/track info updated. That way it At would get the
latest value.

But i am virtually ignorant about how an AT works and hence wonder why
we need to emit name-changed/description-changed.

Thanks,
Deepa.
