Re: [g-a-devel] gail: hands off ...

Hi Michael:

I don't see the problem (yet); I looked at gail_focus_watcher() and 
don't see anything that assumes that the object in question is a 
GailWidget or GailObject subclass, only that the peer is a GtkWidget.  
Maybe the problem is visible in one of the other emission hooks instead?
