	Ok - there is an interface that Iain Holmes added to Bonobo for doing
things like this called the 'PropertyControl' interface. Whether it's
actually friendly enough for what you want I don't know - but aggregated
with a PropertyBag with a 'uri' property - it'd prolly do the job - if
in fact anyone really wanted to re-use it. That way all the mime data /
etc. would be centralised inside nautilus.

	Then again I don't quite see why you'd want to duplicate that
functionality somewhere else particularly, what's the purpose of all
that ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
