Hi Sergey,

	Right; you're in just the right area. We tend to emit the verb / event
to the node that we know registered that item - and no others. Of
course, in this case we don't know which component that was. So we need
to work it out from the verb; (I forgot that slight added complexity),

	So we need something like:

	char *path = g_strconcat ("/commands/", verb, NULL);
	BonoboUINode *node = bonobo_ui_xml_get_path (
		engine->priv->tree, path);

	impl_emit_verb_on (engine, node);

	Something like that for 'event' too I imagine.

	I think it's best to emit to just the last owner of the verb; but yes -
you're on target :-)

	Thanks,

		Michael.
