I had a little trouble finding docs on the named parameters (I ended
up using help(gimpfu.register) in the console). I've pasted the new
register() below - one thing seemed strange: the 'params' parameter
seems to require that I add the current image and drawable - is that
correct? Any other big mistakes here? ;)

Thanks,
Chris
