Nadeau isn't cc'ed on Sophie's original email and I don't know if he's
subscribed to any of these email lists, but I think it's worth
mentioning that the work in progress of moving our dialogs to the gtk
builder file format now makes it super super easy to: 
a) set that a label is the right mnemonic widget for something else,
which sets up the default a11y label for, label by relationships between
them
b) add a11y descriptions, a11y names, explicit label-for, label-by and
member-of etc relations

I'm not particularly a11y experienced, but I fired up orca a few weeks
ago and tweaked our a11y support a bit until it read out the
"format->title page" dialog the same way as it would read it if it was a
native gtk dialog.

Obviously there's a lot more a11y-wise to just our dialogs, but at least
for those new-format dialogs anyone with experience in tweaking gtk a11y
issues via glade can directly apply that experience to our new dialogs.
