Hmmm. I think I'm asking the wrong question in the wrong place :( I'd 
say I'm asking a gnome developer question which I'm not so sure I can 
get a straight answer here.

NP. The reason I asked was due to the lack of docs available regarding 
the subject, and it looks like the gnome developers don't hang out here...

Cheers guys.
