Re: [g-a-devel]gnopernicus should read new name when received "accessible-name" changed signal

[Bolian Yin <bolian yin sun com>]

Hi Bill,

Only report the accessible-name change on focused widget is good.

My current situation is: in evolution calendar day view model, when you 
click another day from the calendar on the right, the day view was 
changed to reflect that change. That means, the title and content of 
the  day view widget is changed, and day view object is the same. I use 
the title as the accessible name of the day view widget, and re-set the 
name to reflect the change of date, expecting gnopernicus to read the 
new  name. (All the time, the day view widget has the focus).

As your suggested,  maybe I can make a label to report such a change as 
"text-change".  But currently the both "label" and the day view are in 
one "widget", they are all "drawn" by evolution calendar itself.  So I 
think, if gnopernicus can read "new-name" on receiving the accessible 
name change signal is better and easier.
