Jeff,

Thanks for the comments. They seem to be consistent with my own thoughts.

I especially like the idea of having the database object return its own 
open dialog. I hadn't thought of that, but it make sense, especially if 
we move to a "database plugin" scheme. The way the core GRAMPS program 
does not have to have "compile-time" knowledge of the database backend.
