Understood. But I think this will prove necessary if you want the
buttons read. They don't have accessible objects, and when I hover the
mouse above them to cause the tooltip to be shown, there is no
accessible event indicating the tooltip is showing. And different themes
put the buttons in different places....

Fixing this in the window manager is the right -- and possibly the only
-- fix for this issue.
