I've been working on something like that. Thanks to the argument system it's
quite trivial to get arguments and store them.
Take a look at:

It's an attempt to create persistency for DIA objects. I created a special class
(DiaPersistent) for that, but you can also save it with gtk_object_set_data()
(although you have to change some code).
... And, uh, it stores the data as XML.
