Hi All;As I understand it, the proposal below would probably break gail unless/until we roll it into gtk+. While gail currently uses public gtk+ API to fulfill the ATK implementations, it relies rather heavily on the details of the existing implementation.
I think this would force the issue of gail->gtk+ integration if and when it happens. The first stage of the gail->gtk+ work is under way, with a patch in process to move gnomecanvas accessibility support from gail into libgnome-canvas, thus removing the only known dependency blocker in this respect.
Best regards, Bill ...

So you'd set the default implementation for a type: gtk_object_factory_set_default_implementation (factory, GTK_TYPE_LABEL, MY_CUSTOM_LABEL_TYPE); And then in the widget/object xxx_new() functions instead of calling g_object_new() they call: gtk_object_factory_create (factory, GTK_TYPE_LABEL, ...);
