Accessibility bugs are often not like other bugs :)

Seb, I think you're right that it should be pulled in by the AT app, but more importantly by Orca than by at-poke. Joanie first noticed the problem when using the Orca screen reader which needs various GTK applications to make some textual information available via AT-SPI. In the case of gnome panel, the icons themselves have little meaning to a screen reader without these labels.

She simply used the at-poke utility to diagnose the problem further. It is a tool used by assistive technology developers to probe applications for information available via AT-SPI and we ship it in universe.

Adding a gnome-orca package task as I suspect it may have a missing recommends or dependency. On my Edgy system libgail-gnome-module is pulled in by gnopernicus, which is fine but it breally also needs to be pulled in by Orca.
