I'm pretty sure this is the relevant bug report for this discussion (if
anyone knows how to cache a local copy of large chunks of bugzilla in
relatively fast and efficent way please do let me know):

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60331
Object properties should handle multiple objects

I certainly like to think it is but you are right of course that sometimes
a bad answer is almost worse than no answer at all.  I am trying to get in
the habit of saying that my advice may be prompt but not necessarily
(okay, definately not) the best answer and that others will hopefully
provide a better answer.  Ideally though I should be able to provide a
good accurate answer so the developers dont have to and allow them to do
more programming.

The last thing I want to do is seem rude or ignorant by saying things like
"Bugzilla!" or "RTFM".

Back in unversity now, I only suffer 56k (and I doubt I'm get much more
than 28k) when I'm at home.
