Oh, ok.  That makes things ... interesting when the model's data structure
is really a SQL database.  But, no big deal, I can find somewhere to
actually store the data :o)

Yeah, I tested it and you're right, it is a string.  I know this is
totally unrelated to gtk2-perl, but does anyone know why that might be? 
It's stored in an integer field in the DB, so I guess it's just the
internals of the way DBI works.
