or we could do what we do for a bunch of other atk methods reutrning const gchar* nd use nsAccessibleWrap::ReturnString() which keeps a static nsCString and returns a pointer into its buffer, and so requires caller of atk method to copy returned string before calling another atk function, which I think its very likely the bridge will always do.
