It should allow them on the command line to override what is in the
connection but not require them.  If that is not the case, it is a bug.

In a later message, someone (Derek?) said that the Save button should be
greyed out with the GDA backend because the book is never dirty.
Perhaps the same code which adds the "*" to the title bar if the book is
dirty can also enable the Save button iff the book is dirty.

This is due to a bug in libgda.  I reported it and it is fixed in their
CVS version.

I agree.  There are still a few places where this message is displayed.

No.  It is too early.  Just post them via e-mail.

I'm concerned too.  I hope they go away when libgda 2.0 is released.
