I added a function called  'property_add_connection' to property.c which
looks and behave like you have described it. But now I got stuck because I wanted 
to use 'Gda_Connection' but for this I needed gnome-db.h included, which I
guess is not so desirable. What should I do now? Create a special
version of property.c or try to avoid to use Gda_Connection. For the
last proposal I am not sure what you would like to have... please
enligthenment me :)
