I suggest using a large, Australian-style boot. Give it several whacks

I'm not putting that stuff in the UI, since that's Metatheme material.
Question: does the Metatheme sound plugin handle the task of loading all

I thought I made that change a few days ago. At least, when I start up a
bonobo-confified capplet from within gnomecc, I get the right title.
