I guess that instead of caja_desktop_window_init you mean something ilke caja_desktop_window_class_init. If that is the case, yes, that is the usual way to go. In general we can see AtkObject attributes as class attributes. You can find an example of the get_attributes override at GtkEntryAccessible. Here the override for the custom get_attributes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gtk/a11y/gtkentryaccessible.c#L750 And here the custom get_attributes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gtk/a11y/gtkentryaccessible.c#L417 Note that the custom get_attributes calls first the parent get_atributes, and then it adds their own ones (in this case "placeholder-text").
