New properties for StatusNotifierItem: Accessible Label (1/3)

[Aaron J. Seigo]

first, thanks for working with us on this Ted. it really helps keep things 
moving forward in a coordinate fashion, and makes our lives (and hopefully 
yours) a lot brighter. :)

oh, and you don't need to CC Marco and I, we're on the plasma-devel list :)

when would the AttentionAccessibleLabel be used (as opposed to the Icon one)? 
are they ever used simultaneously? is the Icon label a more-or-less static 
description fo the icon, and the Attention label is more information for when 
something "exciting" happens?

can we re-purpose the tooltip for this?
