Bug Description
Version/Date: 0.7~~svn2008101
Environment used for testing: Dell mini
Summary:
The accessibility layer needs to be able to access the panel applet/notification area. This is especially true for network manager. We are unable to automate testing around network connections, but more importantly, handicapped users have no method for accessing network connections if orca cannot read into the panel.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install accerciser
2) Analyze nm-applet
Expected result:
nm-applet reports states and can be accessed using the accessibility layer
Actual result:
No information is provided by nm-applet

Alexander, can you take a look at what it would take to add accessability information to the nm-applet? Thanks.
