Thanks a lot, I'm now checking out nautilus. I think this is exactly what I want.

it's not really a problem, it's just because I've got tons of code making use of
the GnomeUIInfo stuff, and I've got to switch to the new Bonobo UI stuff, and as
I've got little free time to do it, I get desperated when thinking on all the code
I've got to change.

But now, with the nautilus code I'm going to look at right now, I feel better!!!
