No, that's not correct.

Look at libgnomeui/demos or libgnomeui/test-gnome:

You can use either

a)  gnome_program_init ("mdi_demo", "2.0", &libgnomeui_module_info,
                        argc, argv, NULL);

or

b)  gnome_program_init ("mdi_demo", "2.0", NULL, argc, argv,
                        GNOME_PARAM_MODULES, "libgnomeui", NULL);

Yes (if you use a)).

Yes, that was a bug (which is now fixed, btw).
