I think it's not needed, that's why I didn't add it. Because the
GnomeDbControl widget already manages this. It's got a GList of all the
properties, and when you use gnome_db_control_set_property, it adds it
to both the GList and the BonoboPropertyBag. But anyway, as you've
already added it, let's keep it.

I was testing the gda-components-browser component (in gda-components)
with glade (the CVS version which contains support for BonoboControl),
and it worked great, although I'm not very sureif you're right with the
need or not of this property.

Cheers!
