central keybindings database?

["j.s. zweig" <joschi-gnome eds org>]

I have started looking into hacking on some gnome apps (gseq and gedit)
was thinking about key bindings.  I would like to be able to make a key
binding dialogue that can check if certain keys combinations are already
bound to something, and therefore would conflict.  For instance, there
are lots of possible conflicts between apps and window managers.  What
would people think about having central database where programs register
which keys they are binding so that when a user was seting up a program
they could be alerted what conflicts they might be setting up?
