My question is, does GTK need to support an AXScrollView in the AX hierarchy? If they don't, then your patch looks fine because it just ignores what it doesn't need to know about

if however, GTK, should have a scroll view around the web areas in accessibility, then the correct fix is to incorporate the scroll view in to the tests as the root object, or add a method to return the root web area that is used instead of the root scroll view.
