Here is a patch for

 atkeditabletext.h
 atkobject.h
 atktext.c
 atktext.h

in atk/atk. There is a new convenience function in atktext.[ch] called
AtkAttributeSet_free() which frees an AtkAttributeSet. I have also removed the
definitions of AtkAttribute and AtkAttributeSet from atkobject.h and moved them
to atktext.h. atkeditabletext.h now #includes atktext.h so it has access to
these definitions. I have discussed these changes with Bill.
