Thanks Jon!
          This confirms what I suspected from looking at the ggv code. I
need to register specific callbacks for the required interfaces.

Then list the interfaces in the oaf file. I guess that evolution needs the 

Bonobo::PersistStream
and
Bonobo::PersistFile

interfaces. I'll also add the MIME types  for doc,rtf, abw wp and aw
(for MSWord, RTF, abiword, Word Perfect and Applix). I'll cut and
paste these from the ggv idl file.

Does evolution need any other interfaces?
