I'm pleased to hear that. I don't think libbonobomm has really be used 
seriously so we need someone to test it. But that means you are probably 
in for a bit of grief. I'll help as much as I can though.

Better than that 
/usr/share/idl/bonobo-activation-2.0/Bonobo_Unknown.idl:28 is where 
Bonobo::Unknown is defined.

What happens if you add -D__Bonobo_Unknown_COMPILATION to the 
orbit-idl-2 arguments. Without it Bonobo::Unknown is pragma inhibit'ed. 
I know there is an outstanding bug 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101455) which exists because 
we only partially support inhibit'ing stuff. But Bonobo::Unknown is 
something that should work.
