In Unity 2D in Ubuntu, we augmented the accessible name string to indicate the application running state, 
thereby not requiring any extra work on the Orca side, and I've had thoughts of doing that for Unity 3D as 
well. Would it not be better to do something similar in GNOME shell, thereby not requiring any extra work in 
Orca?
