Aha! I'll sue you! :), now seriously, it might be worth to have a look at liboobs in cvs.gnome.org, at this moment it provides GObjects for getting info about users (besides other things), by using the experimental system-tools-backends branch (featuring DBus), the infrastructure is a bit subject to change, but clearly reflects what I'm trying to achieve. One of the objectives I have for this future version is the hability to let the users modify the data that's tied to them (i.e.: chfn), so this might be used as the underlying technology to the about-me capplet, as well as many other things (please note that, being the code experimental, I haven't worried a lot about making it easy to install...)
