The patch you sent is fine.  Feel free to commit it to HEAD if you 
have CVS access, or if you don't I'll do it.  The only thing I'd ask 
is that you write a ChangeLog entry for it- either commit it if you 
do the commit or send it to me so I can do so.

If I read it correctly, that updates the property when things change 
as well, right?  If not, feel free to send another patch to do that.

If you can write a relatively clean patch which doesn't introduce new 
buginess, I'll be happy to consider it.  I'm just loathe to make 
gnomecard any less usable than it already is.
