In contexts such as the preferences dialog, wizards, properties, etc., traversing through controls like Texts and Combos do not read out any description of what the control represents, because the description is in a preceding label. These preceding labels are read out automatically on win32 by JAWS because JAWS does the work of looking up a control's preceding descriptive label, if one exists. However, ATK specifies that such relationships are to be explicitly expressed by adding AtkRelationships to controls. Expecting all swt clients in the world to add these relationships throughout their applications in order to be accessible on linux is not reasonable. However, swt should be able to guess at these and get them mostly right by looking at a control's immediately-preceding sibling, and hooking up a relationship if appropriate. This will make all plug-ins significantly more accessible on gtk, with no effort required.
