I'll fix that.

It is really very simple. :-) At the moment the docs are a little
weak however which makes things harder. Part of the trouble is that
the classes that do the work are complex and so this makes it quite
hard to see how it all fits together.

For instance I cannot see how to write a plugin that adds a page to
a properties dialog, or how to get events telling the plugin when
the URL changes. Any chance you could enlighten me?

Cheers
