Note that rox_filer_file_type() in the current version is broken when used
with the current (1.1.10) filer because the SOAP namespace has changed again.
rox_filer_pinboard() is unaffected.

A new version which uses the current SOAP namespace (and adds
rox_filer_version()) should be available soon.  I can also add a little
example program, rox_pinboard, to show how it is done.

In fact it's only 49 lines, so:

/*
 * $Id$
 *
 * rox_pinboard: send a message to a running rox to change the pinboard
 *
 * With no arguments turn pinboard off, otherwise a single argument to
 * use as the pinboard file.
 * Equivalent to
 *   rox -p arg
 * but with less overhead

  fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s [pinboard-file]\n", argv0);
  exit(1);

  if(argc>2)
    usage(argv[0]);

  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
  rox_debug_init("rox_pinboard");
  rox_soap_set_timeout(NULL, 5000);

  rox_filer_pinboard(argv[1]);
  if(rox_filer_have_error()) {
    fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot set pinboard \"%s\": %s", argv[0],
	    argv[1]? argv[1]: "", rox_filer_get_last_error());
    exit(2);
  }

  return 0;
}
