Right, a lot of the UI tools have had code disabled simply because
either the DBus API has COMPLETELY changed. If you use a tool like
d-feet, you can see, the DBus API is nothing like what it was.

We are still working on the engine and have not had time to update the
UI. I think Jamie was talking about working on this soon.

This depends on your extractors I think. Did configure say MS office
files were supported? If so, perhaps it is broken and needs fixing.

Hmm, not sure if this is related to the work going on right now but we
are in the process of moving this code between processes. That could
well be why.
