	What happens in any case where things that have AtkObjects associated
with them are manipulated - created, destroyed, renamed etc.?
This is of course a very common occurence during the construction /
destruction of GUIs, and thus we have to support it in atk, by various
means of signalling tree hierarchy changes.

	Since we effectively provide a sort of 'DOM' via the Atk system, it
seems particularly pointless to waste a huge amount of time creating
another parallel-but-different way to do so, since it cannot (shouldn't)
add anything useful that Atk+ doesn't do.

	Regards,

		Michael.
