This mails goes mainly to Bill.
We're here trying to understand the whole picture of ATK and at-spi and be 
aware that we're not really familiar with the GTK and GNOME 
api/classes/objects.
I have a couple of questions:
Are the gnome/gtk objects a group of structs and plain functions named like 
the structs ? for example:
struct      GtkObject;
void        gtk_object_unref                (GtkObject *object);
void        gtk_object_weakref              (GtkObject *object, 
GtkDestroyNotify notify, gpointer data);

Then, according to 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/guide/gad/index.html when I have a 
widget, a gtk widget that doesn't have any accessibility features I have to 
do something like this:
AtkObject *obj;
obj = gtk_widget_get_accessible (button);
atk_object_set_name(obj, _("Close"));
atk_object_set_description (obj, _("Closes the window"));
so I imagine that what gail does it do that for all the widget that exists, 
for example, do that for a button, so, people doesn't have to do it by 
themselves.
As it is said, it is load when is required and if not (no atk calls are 
made|empty atk calls are made).

So, we should put that code somewhere (still don't know where) but my main 
question is that we'll need a AtkObject *QWidget::getAccessible() function 
(or AtkObject *QObject::getAccessible() function), right ?
That stats that QWidget or QObject should understand about AtkObject (as 
GtkWidget does), right ? well, that's not going to happen :\

Should we then, get a QAccessibleObject object and make katk 'cast' it to an 
AtkObject ?

Thank you.
