yes, it's fully implemented, although I think it always uses -1 as the
size for varchar, which is probably wrong. Could you please report a bug
to http://bugzilla.gnome.org ?

yes, 1.0.4 should be ok, so please run gnome-database-properties in gdb
and send us the backtrace of the crash ('bt' command in gdb after the
app crashed). If you could attach that backtrace to a bug in bugzilla,
that would be sweet also.
