it is most useful for creating aggregate interfaces & doing IPC
easily. It also contains a rather badly designed & implemented
per-system activation system. This needs re-writing & simplifying to
be per-display.
Take a look at samples/echo/.

This is the distribution of Bonobo, the GNOME component and compound
document system for the GNU system.
* What is Bonobo
Bonobo is a set of language and system independant CORBA interfaces
for creating reusable components, controls and creating compound
documents.
The Bonobo distribution includes a Gtk+ based implementation of the
Bonobo interfaces, enabling developers to create reusable
components and applications that can be used to form more complex
documents.
If you want to look into a Java implementation of Bonobo, look in
the GNOME CVS for the `monkeybeans' module (Erdi Gergo is the
author), you can browse it at: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai
* Licensing
Bonobo libraries are released under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License (GNU LGPL). While components and programs

You can find copies of the licenses in the files COPYING.LIB and
COPYING for the libraries and the code respectively.
* Bug reports
File any bug reports at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
* What you will need
You will need a working GNOME 2.x system with the development tools
to compile and install Bonobo.
* Mailing lists
gnome-components-list@gnome.org
To subscribe, send mail to gnome-components-list-request@gnome.org
and in the body of the message put the word "subscribe".
Archive of the mailing list is available at:

* The layout
You will find documentation for Bonobo in the "doc" directory. The
actual implementation of bonobo is in the "bonobo" directory. The
CORBA interfaces are in the "idl" directory. Sample implementations
of components and containers are in the "samples" directory. You
should use these implementations as your reference when you write
Bonobo code.
* Bonobos
The real Bonobos are endangered species. If you want to help
preserve the Bonobos go to this web site:
