Accessibility sees GenericMenuItems as check menu items

[Ted Gould]

Currently the accessibility infrastructure sees GenericMenuItems as CheckItems because that's where we derive from. We need to provide more specific accessibility information to ATK based on the settings of the item.

You can fix this by adding

AtkObject *accessible;
accessible = gtk_widget_get_accessible (widget);
atk_object_set_role (accessible, ATK_ROLE_MENU_ITEM);

to the instance init function of your derived widget.

Cheers.

Yeah, we need to set it up to detect whether it's a check as well so
that we can give the full information. Thank you for the code snippet
though, that helps!
