While analyzing screenshots to determine coordinates for keyboard/mouse
events does in fact work.  In practice, I think it becomes a horrible
maintenance nightmare since graphics, fonts, themes, icons, colors are
always changing.  It certainly is cool technology, but I'd recommend
using it in limited instances where at-spi cannot, or does not, offer
improved functionality (aka use as a last resort).
