Re: Generic Embeddable plugins.

Hi Martin,

presuming that the embeddable objects support "text-wrapping":
Could parts of this work be re-used on the abi-side to make tables
"first class citizens" wrt wrapping text around them?

I know this is already possible by putting the table in a text box, but
it would be nice to have a common base for all "objects" in Abiword.
This should make it easier at some point in the future to add e.g.
captions to the objects.

We could also think about a generic properties dialog - provided by
abiword - that would allow the manipulation of borders and margins (and
maybe a caption in the future). Further ahead plugins might even be able
to add their own notebook-pages to the properties dialog. I think
nautilus does something like that already.

Thanks,
Rob
