	Ok, firstly the stub/skel size will be shrinking a lot in Gnome
2.0, secondly for the vast majority of controls there is no need for new
interfaces - the PropertyBag providing in a single interface an analogue
of GProperties [ or whatever they are called today ( ne GtkArgs ) ].

	I wouldn't go completely wild with components myself :-) but I
think for a file selector it is reasonable to have a component, perhaps
for a button it is less reasonable just now.
