The other methods in AccessibleExtendedComponent are 
getAccessibleKeyBinding() and getToolTipText().

Our approach to key bindings seems to be different in that we return the key 
binding associated with an action whereas in Java AbstractButton and JLabel 
support the AccessibleKeyBinding interface.

For tooltips, we currently return the tooltip with atk_object_get_description() 
if atk_object_set_description() has not been called for the object.
