Corba is Gnome specific, though :)

I'de personally store it with the 8 byte magic that you "should" be using.  Or
an identifier that we can all agree on.

Now, what would really be nice is if all the Gnome and KDE applications
(or at least the office programs) could share a single file format.

It'd be a shame if Linux isn't compatible with Linux.
