heh... the use of PersistStream is a relic of the past, since I ported
GGV (and its bonobo component) from Gnome 1 platform. I don't think that
you should use deprecated interfaces in newly written code. On the other
hand, I really don't know why the BonoboPersistStream object was
deprecated: it offered a nice, effort-less way to add this functionality
to one's component.
