Hi,
Since it took me so long to make this work, and given that I couldn't really find very useful information on the web, I'll ask this and answer it myself :D
In case anyone needs it!

Hello,
Weirdly, this doesn't work for me. I have setup the connection in declarative xml and when the page is created, in Edit mode it LOOKS like the web parts are connected, based on what I see in the 'connect' menus. But the Provider web part does not send data to the consumer. It only starts sending data when I click on the provisioned connection in Edit mode of the page (which opens the connection popup) and then I click the 'Finish' button. Any clue?
