That sounds like a perfect solution to me.  I'd been reading about the
OLE-like Gnome stuff and how it's really so incredibly easy to embed
features of one program in another.  I think this is extremely cool and
I would love to read more about what you did, and see a brief example if
you don't mind sharing.  :)  Thanks.
