I was intending to start work on this, but I haven't managed to get gnome-db
working myself yet. And I'm very busy with other things.

You can use the Custom widget thing for any kind of widget. You just have
to provide the function to create the widget. It isn't ideal though.

Are the gnome-db widgets mature enough for real use yet?
