Description Li Yuan 2008-07-29 09:02:45 UTC 
User can insert Smiley during conversation. Currently there is no name for the Smiley.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2008-07-29 09:26:54 UTC 
what do you mean by no name? you can just type :) ;) etc...
Comment 2 Li Yuan 2008-07-29 09:30:16 UTC 
I mean accessibility name, so it can be hear by blind users. :)
Comment 3 Xavier Claessens 2008-07-29 09:48:45 UTC 
Hum, where those names should be put in the UI? I have no idea how accessibility tools work... Please explain what's needed.
Comment 4 Li Yuan 2008-07-29 13:15:27 UTC 
Please refer to http://live.gnome.org/GAP/presentations/GUAD3C/Making%20Applications%20Accessible for how to set accessibility name to a gtkwidget, it is in "Applications can call ATK API" section.
Comment 5 Adam Schreiber 2009-04-05 14:07:04 UTC 
Because of the way smilies are inserted into the chat buffer, as GdkPixbufs, this would be very hard to implement because GdkPixbuf doesn't implement AtkImplementorIface like GtkWidgets do.   Something would need to be done to GDK to make it more accessable.  I suggest filing a GDK bug and making this one depend on it.
