	I don't quite understand what problem you are trying to solve
with this API. Personaly I would implement a file selector without a new
interface, simply using a selector control and a set of standard
properties such as 'selector:mode' == MULTI / SINGLE, selector:selection
= a sequence<string> and the event source to notify of changes in the
selection [ if the user is in fact interested in this - which often they
arn't ], selector:mime_filters = sequence<string>

	Why have a unique ID per GNOME::Selector object when you have the
unique CORBA_Object reference ?

	If we have a getControl, we should have a setControl too, but I'm
not quite understanding how this should work.

	This would strike me as an ideal property.

	As would this - but then I don't understand the async_data.

	So, in a nutshell, I'm confused :-)
