	You don't *need* to - this information if only used when
querying.

	So in this example, where PanelAppletShell is an aggregate,
the Bonobo/Unknown part is of no use to *me* - but may be of use to
bonobo-browser if it wanted to query for all Bonobo_Unknowns
available.

	Its completely up to you what information you want to make
available.

Good Luck,
Mark.
