Description korn 2004-08-10 22:59:49 UTC 
Description of Problem: Assistive technologies rely on widgets implementing
the Accessibility API.  The GOK technology specifically relies on
AccessibleName in order to display meaningful text in the Toolbar and UI
Grab windows.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch GOK
2. Launch Evolution, enter password
3. Bring up the GOK "Toolbar" window.  Note button "Text Entry (empty)". 
This is the search edit-text field that is lacking an AccessibleName.

Looking at this with at-poke, why does this field implement
AccessibleAction, with an "activate" action?  Isn't that what the "Find
Now" button is all about?  This seems like an unnecessary implementation of
the API.
