ATK is mostly just a set of interfaces and doesn't have any inter-process 
communication built in. You need to use AT-SPI (ie, at-spi2-core, and 
perhaps pyatspi2 if you want to use Python) if you want to be able to 
inspect or listen to events from objects in other processes. (There has 
been discussion of merging ATK and AT-SPI, but it would be a very 
long-term goal.)
