Nothing implements it and nothing uses it. I really regret putting the
interface into gnome-libs when I did, since it really isn't adequate.

Please check out the gnomacs module. There's a new version of
Desktop::Editor, which is much more sensible in the idl/ directory,
and some unfinished bonobo wrappers for it in the lib/ directory.
