The "group" property (or equivalent) in libglade would be very useful
for accessibility, we already have the notion of an AtkRelation called
"member of" which groups UI components together.  But currently unless
it's explicitly indicated in the .glade XML file, we can only use it for
radiobuttons and even then, not totally reliably for reasons related to
this whole thread.
