Re: GNOME::ClientSite::save_object

Hello Mathieu,

    Various things:

    1. I have not yet applied your patch as I did a lot of
       reorganization to Bonobo.  Please mail me tomorrow morning a
       reminder so that I get my lazy-butt to review and apply your
       patches.

       The idea here is that a component might want to inform its
       container that its contents must be saved and it is a pretty
       straightforward method to have.

       We do have the code for gdk-pixbuf now and as soon as GNOME
moves to gdk-pixbuf, we should be able to save previews.
