Re: Accessible Name

["Padraig O'Briain" <Padraig Obriain Sun COM>]

Hi, 

I propose to change the wording to:

If the user has explicitly set the accessible name using atk_object_set_name() 
that that name is returned. Otherwise, if the child widget is a label then the 
text of the label is returned as the accessible name.
