OK. For GNOME specifically, you need to use a toolkit that supports AT-SPI/ATK. Do anything else, and you're rolling your own for sure. I'm unaware whether any flavor of GNOME Javascript supports AT-SPI, or not. That's your threshold question if you're limiting yourself to this language. Webkit support is a great start, but insufficient, imo.
