[Precise only] accessible for rename text entry isn't marked "editable"

[Attila Hammer]

[Impact]
In Nautilus 3.4 version accessible for rename text entry isn't marked editable. This bug resulting a11y tools (for example Onboard, Orca Screen Reader) doesn't get accessibility related informations if the user want renaming a file, creating a new document or a new folder. If the user try moving arrow keys for example the entry fields between characters, Orca Screen Reader doesn't spokening or presenting braille the highlighted character. If the user want deleting a character, in the braille display the change is not wisible, and Orca doesn't have possibility to spokening the deleted character.

Because worldwide lot of people using a11y products, and Ubuntu 12.04 is an LTS release, please fix this issue in Precise too if release related rules awailable this. We have lucky, because already have upstream level created safe fix for 3.4 series.

This is fixed in upstream 3.4.x trunk (not released yet, but that's where this patch comes from) and 3.5.x. Also fixed in quantal.

[Test Case]
1) Open orca, having it read UI elements aloud
2) Open nautilus
3) Start renaming a file
4) Move cursor between characters

You should hear orca read each character as you move past it (c.f. doing the same in gedit).

[Regression Potential]
This patch only deals with accessibility code, so I would expect any problems to be there.

Sebastien, I created a debdiff based with Precise awailable Nautilus 3.4.2-0ubuntu4 version.
Possible need modifying the debian/changelog file and debian/control file, but the patch working right if I downloading again original Nautilus source package with apt-get source command and apply the deb diff with patch -p0 <deb diff name command.
If I doing any step wrong the debdiff, I regenerating welcome the deb diff. I builded modified source package with following command:
debuild -S -us -uc

I not want signing now this package, because I have permissions now only uploading packages my PPA repositories.
If need generating testing source package with debuild -S command, I welcome doing this.
