	Well - eg. in the selection listener - from a 2 second glance:

         else if (window->type == GTK_WINDOW_POPUP)
        {
             GtkWidget *child = gtk_bin_get_child (GTK_BIN (widget));

             if (GTK_IS_WIDGET (child) && GTK_WIDGET_HAS_GRAB (child))

	We would have no gtk_bin_get_child - we *would* have an
atk_foo_get_child ;-) - but *really* we don't want gail screwing with
our hierarchy & trying to emit / store events on it / holding atk refs
on our accessibles etc. So - in this instance we just get lots of
warning spew from GTK_IS_WIDGET() and HAS_GRAB().

	We just want a "don't go there" flag we can set on GtkWidget (which are
almost always toplevels) to stop gail poking at them. Of course - we
prolly do want some functionality from gail ;-) but we'd like to pick &
choose.

	HTH,

		Michael.
