Icon View exposes wrong accessibility information

[Ara Pulido]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Icon View exposes wrong a11y information about the position of the icons.

Way to reproduce:

 1. Open a folder in nautilus containing several icons
 2. Open accerciser (if not installed, install it by 'sudo apt-get install accerciser')
 3. Browse the accessibility information for that folder
 4. Accerciser, when navigating through the widgets, it highlights them in red. When selecting any icon, instead of highlighting the icon, it highlights an area on the top left of the icon. It seems like the position is not being correctly exposed.

One of the problems with this, from a QA point of view, is that we cannot create automated test for this interface

For the record, this does not only happen with accerciser, but with any application that uses a11y information. This was just an example to reproduce.

I.e. If you use orca and hover over an icon, orca reads something different (as it is getting the wrong information)
