I'm not sure neither about this. We should find a way to have this automatically
specified when designing in Glade. Maybe we could add properties to the widget (in
Glade) to specify the GDA data soource to use, username and password. And then, have
the GnomeDbBrowser-related code in Glade, open the connection when created.
