Hi Marcin;

I believe this is possible - see Marc Mulcahy's paper on writing custom 
widget accessibility support. It's a bit of a hack, but you can inherit 
from a GailObject type without access to the original Gail headers - via 
the GObject/GType system.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/presentations/GUAD3C/making-apps-accessible/start.html

The GObject system's object constructor for your custom GailRendererCell 
implementation needs to know the size of the object to be allocated - 
this can be obtained from the base GailRendererCell class by asking the 
GType system at runtime.

Have a look at the examples in Marc's paper - if it doesn't make sense, 
you might ask Padraig O'Briain at Sun.

Best regards,

Bill
