So that was your excuse to not work on Maps. :)

I have a question, with rygel being typically run per-user/session on
desktop, how do you make these services work? I haven't looked into
the code but it this a plugin? If so, then it could work. In which
case, wouldn't it be better to keep it in a standalone tree since
typical desktop user won't need/want this and rygel is supposed to be
multimedia-only?
