The ability to return error codes is more to make it extensible. Since I want them in the plugin API the return type should be determined now (even if it always returns the same value *now*).

While gboolean would work, I've almost always regretted using in the past. gint is so much more flexible. I can change to boolean if you truly want it, though.
