[g-a-devel]new event type

[gnome-accessibility-devel bernard-hugueney org]

Bonsoir,
I am using at-spi, but not for it's primary purpose. I am not only 
interested in knowing how the GUIs are behaving. I would also like to 
precisely know how the user is interacting with the GUI.
Of course, I can have a lot of informations with current at-spi. 
However, I am not completly satisfied with the handling of user 
events.
While GUI events are related to the precise source Widget, mouse and 
keyboard events are only related to the application.
I can understand that assistive technologies may not need more 
information, but I think it would be more helpful to have the widget.

No information would lost as it is always possible to know the 
application parent of any widget.

I understand that current behavior is not to be broken, but it made me 
think that a new event type would fit my (and maybe other's) needs.

A new "action-perfomed" event (dual of  AccessibleAction_doAction) 
could tell when a widget has been used, an *which* widget.

Does anybody else thinks such a mean to know wich widgets are used 
(and not only which widgets are changing) would be useful ?
Does anybody have hints on where to start hacking (I'd go with toolkit 
specific event (Gtk) to begin)?

Any advice appreciated.

Bernard
