Patch that as I said on comment 5 [1], affects two different components, so it should be splitted in two. Take into account that one affects gdk-pixbuf and the other gail, and both components are maintained by different persons, so having them in different patches would make their live easier (and btw, now gdk-pixbuf lives in a different repository). > It is mostly an extension to pixbuf to add a description property, but > also a minor patch to gail to read them in pixbuf cell renderer.

For your information gtk+ has right now 3043 bugs, and gdk-pixbuf 138 (and the maintainer of gdk-pixbuf is also gtk+ maintainer), and right now they are on the gtk+3 revamp, and stabilization towards GNOME 3.0, so the conclusion that they don't review all the accessibility patches because they don't care at all is wrong (IMHO). Ie, I already saw how Matthias Clasen reviewed some gtk a11y-related patches. So, please, split the patch, and be patient. Lets hope any of the gtk reviewers could review that patch now.
