I don't think so. Anyway, as I have just said on a different mail, you
are not forced to use gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_type to specify a
different accessible object. You can reimplement gtkwidget->get
accessible. Something similar happens at clutter. ClutterActor has a
virtual method get_accessible, that it is not redefined in any other
ClutterActor subclass, and then StWidget redefines it, used in any other
StWidget subclass.

Sorry for the noise.
