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

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

I think providing a toltip for the applet would be good.  It might be nice 
for it to either contain the text of the label, or simply the text 'clock" 
so that when tabbing through the applets on the panel, the AT can speak a 
description of the applet.

The text of the label is already available by calling atk_object_get_name 
on the atkObject for the GtkLabel.
