The top-level window of mozilla has no accessible name, which prevents gnopernicus to read the name of window/dialog. This is very important for blind user to switch between different window/dialog.
Attached patch patch v1 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
In order to support getting window name, the patch adds "GetTitle" in nsIWidget. nsWindow.cpp on different platforms should "implement" this interface. This patch only does it for gtk2 and returns NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED on other platforms.

Comment on attachment 157691 [details] [diff] [review] patch v1 >+ NS_IMETHOD GetTitle(PRUnichar** aTitle); > NS_IMETHOD SetTitle(const nsAString& aTitle); would you please think about what you're doing? ask yourself "why am I making the getters and setters handle different types?" and please cc the platform owners, especially tier-1, but be nice and cc tier-3 too.

- Instead of pushing GetTitle all the way down to nsIWidget, save the title in nsXULWindow and return it there. This saves us from having to implement this method for all of the widget platforms.

Why couldn't you use the title from the XUL document?
Neil, which method would work better for the embedded Gecko HTML control scenario?
Well, my wild guess would be that embedding wouldn't use nsXULWindow...
Louie, does this work for embedded Gecko windows where the chrome is GTK, such as in Galeon? Apparently not, as Neil points out that nsIBaseWindow is implemented by nsXULWindow. Do we need to reopen? Neil, I don't think your suggestion of using nsXULDocument will help with that scenario.
Sorry, I didn't mean it as nsXULDocument but nsIDOMNSDocument or nsIDocument.
I am investigating this and try to use nsIDOMNSDocument instead of nsXULWindow if embedded Gecko can't work with it. I will reopen (or file a new bug) to fix it.
