Might this be a bit of a kludge?  

We should probably look at the AccessibleExtendedComponent interface
closely and see what parts of it, if any, we forgot to add to
AtkComponent. ( If Owen doesn't object too strenuously to adding
methods to the interface now ;-)

Otherwise I think the proposed solution would work OK for GtkFrame.
