One thing that isn't clear to me, from my admittedly superficial reading 
of the proposals, is how the need to notify clients of changes to the 
file chooser list will be implemented. 

For accessibility, we will need to fire notifications via ATK of all 
changes to the file chooser list.  This means we need GtkFileChooser 
signals to connect to here in libgail.

I am a little concerned about the workability of this proposal from an 
accessibility POV anyhow - mainly I am concerned about how to manage the 
amount of 'chatter' caused by a continuously-growing list of objects.  
The existing chooser can be considered a snapshot which only changes in 
response to user actions, which is a more manageable problem.

regards

Bill
