That easy?  Cool. Thanks for the reply.

Great!  I was basing that assumption on the GConf editor for Gnome2 Beta
2 which only supports the three types.  I guess the GConf editor will
eventually support all the types of GConf.

Not really.  Gnome-db was designed so well that all the hard parts are
under the hood in libgnomedb and libgda.  I am hoping to have a patch by
this weekend.  The out widget works great by the way.  I just have to
allow the user to choose which one to use.
