Re: [orca-list] question with panel tooltips

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Attila:

The Ctrl+F1 action tells the toolkit to show the tooltip for an object. 
 The AT-SPI event Orca gets when the tooltip is shown is the way Orca 
discovers the tooltip and can then make the decision about whether or 
not to present the contents of the tooltip.  Unless the application 
developer has hooked the tooltip contents up to something else, such as 
an accessible description, this is the only way Orca can discover the text.

So...I believe the short answer to your question is that there is not a 
way to automatically cause the behavior you get when Ctrl+F1 is pressed. 
 There is an /apps/panel/global/tooltips_enabled boolean property, but 
changing its value didn't seem to have the effect desired.
