        Ok, so I'm looking at this too, and there have been a couple of   
issues for me with the 'file:' moniker.

        Ok - I suspect oaf brokenness - Oaf can't live with itself from   
Gnome 1.0 - this is an ongoing and serious bug. We need a new oaf set for
Gnome 2.0 - either that, or we have to rename every single interface -    
which will cause masses of pain for every bit of code written.
  
        ie. it's probable that your GNOME_PATH at the time you started oaf
pointed to a place containing descriptions of the old monikers, or that   
you have them mixed up in your prefixes - or somesuch.
  
        Does that make sense ? Either way I'm working on a test-moniker   
regression test in libgnome.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
