[pygtk] what are the attributes for making widgets accessible to screen readers?

[Krishnakant Mane]

hello all,
I am a totally blind person developing an application using python.
the gui is made obviously in pygtk.
but strangely enough there is a diffference in behaviour when I run
other pygtk applications and mine with the same screen reader on
gnome.
for example when I tab around in a gtk frame containing all widgets
like text entry or combo boxes, my screen reader does not read the
lable associated with that respective widget.
for example if there is a lable "first name:" followed by a text
entry, my screen reads "text" and not "full name: text".
this is only with the gui which I am developing.
I don't find this a problem with most of the other applications in gnome.
are there any attributes which I have failed to set on a widget to
associate the lable and the widget?
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
