More precisely, it would stop working as soon as the type of interface is 
switched (in either direction).

Should be fixed, now.

BTW, while this wasn't the cause in this case, there is a problem with 
defining the two types of interfaces (dialog/wizard) in one. It is very easy 
for the two interfaces to get out of sync (i.e. you change for instance the 
minimum value of a spinbox in the <dialog> section, but forget to do the same 
change in <wizard>). This can easily lead to hard to detect bugs. In fact, 
while I was looking into it, I found that the point type selection was broken 
in the <wizard>, but had been corrected in the <dialog>.

I'll have to come up with a better solution for this, eventually (probably 
you'd only specify the "id" in the second type of interface, and then all the 
attributes from the first definition with the same "id" would be used, 
without having to specify them manually). For now, please avoid creating new 
wizard interfaces (nobody has done so recently, but I'd like to make sure). 
Those would need to be fixed up, later.

Regards
Thomas
