AttachData allows clients to attach "data" to points.  The
interpretation of the "data" is decided by the clients (thus the type
"variant").  To support multiple clients, AttachData should at least be
keyed:

	AttachData(int, str, variant) -> void

For example, Locations might attach data under the key "om-locations".

Depending on what Locations wants to show, it could encode needed
information, text and/or path to an icon, in dbus representable forms.
