Re: [orca-list] Icon Tray

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi Will
If the current GTK implementation doesn't support this, how do some of  
the other panel icons expose their labels? For instance, the volume  
control applet, the clock, and Ubuntu's fast user switch applet? What  
makes panel icons different from any other icon that exposes an  
accessible label? Are they using different applet routines to interact  
with the panel?

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
