Description bill.haneman 2004-06-15 11:36:22 UTC 
In order to solve situations like that in bug 128289 (and many others), in which
context switches from component to component without a window-switch event to
hint about the context switch, we need SPI_ROLE_EMBEDDED.
Comment 1 padraig.obriain 2004-06-15 12:31:26 UTC 
This means that atk also needs a new role.

Can you supply the text which will be used to describe the role in atkobject.h?
Comment 2 korn 2004-06-15 22:16:20 UTC 
Likewise the Java Accessibility API probably needs this role.  Too late for
Tiger I think...
Comment 3 bill.haneman 2004-06-16 09:56:49 UTC 
I don't necessarily agree that it's necessary right away; this role will be
rarely if ever used for anything other than out-of-process embedded objects.

The proposed current solution would be in libgail-gnome, and need not involve
libgail or the java-access-bridge for GNOME.
Comment 4 bill.haneman 2004-07-20 13:40:49 UTC 
I added this to ATK, since it may be used more generally.
