The icon view a11y code was already inside GTK+, since we didn't
want to expose all the innards that would be required to do the
a11y implementation in gail. 

The original implemenation was done by Padraig, but he is doing
other things now, right ?

The code needs to be updated to work with the cell renderer based
approach that is used in GTK+ >= 2.8. I started to look into that
myself, but didn't get very far...
