There is an old enhancement request in bugzilla regarding loading of files:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103501
The code pertinent to that fix might be useful as an attachement to that bug. 

You may also want to check bugzilla for bugs relevant to your other fixes 
prior to any attempt at creating new bug reports (if you choose to do so). 

Thanks!
