Mmmm... Is this a good thing?
If you have two object with different attributes, group them and change
one attribute in the group, then both objects will get all the attributes
of the first object. We would really need two states of the attribute in
the dialog: keep the old value (widget greyed out), or set to the
specified value.
In addition, I get a lot of
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GtkObject'
when i try this out. I'll try to track it down.
