OK, thanks for the pointers. I've been able to implement the
BonoboConfigControl interface (use the bonobo_object_add_interface
method to do that). I then create a new BonoboConfigControl in that
interface (bonobo_config_control_new).
But how do i implement the creation of the ConfigControl control? The
bonobo_config_control_new method only requires a BonoboEventSource.

The event source is optional.

I order for this to work, the BonoboControl must have a callback somewhere
that gets called when the application wants to display the preferences
gui?

So i assume i need to implement the BonoboConfigControlGetControlFn
somewhere in the bonobo control, right?

Take a look at bonobo-conf/config-moniker-demo.c (demo3). Here is a piece
of that code:
        config_control = bonobo_config_control_new (NULL);

        bonobo_config_control_add_page (config_control, 
                                        "Manually created Page",
                                        pb, demo3_get_fn, NULL);
You simply "add" a page with bonobo_config_control_add_page().

I hope this was the question?
