Yes ... and no. :-)

I agree that there is a serious underlying issue which needs to be identified
and properly fixed. I also agree that what I've done here is merely a bandaid
-- one which gets something that is already in place (WebKit's implementation
of atk_object_get_parent) to work as expected from the AT client perspective.
That said:

* atk_object_get_index_in_parent (not yet implemented) is impacted by this same
issue

* The accessible hierarchy for tables is completely borked. I was hoping that
it would magically unbork itself once we started getting the accessible table
interface implemented. No such luck, based on what I'm seeing in my sandbox.

In other words, we have at least two opportunities to identify and properly fix
the serious underlying hierarchy/ancestry issue(s). I plan to start digging
into this underlying issue before too long. And I'll likely be coming to you
for assistance/advice once I've dug into it because I suspect it might not be
trivial.

All a long way of saying that the issue you're referring to is still very much
on my radar and will not (arguably cannot) be forgotten. :-)
