	Your understanding is correct, and not just that - but using it outside
of bonobo is conceptually broken anyway, that is unless you are
implementing your own synchronizer - something that I believe no one has
ever done.

	It's fair enough to warn people if bincompat changes - but then it's
trivially verifiable that no known Gnome software (in LXR) uses, or has
used this API outside of bonobo. Arguably these APIs should be made
private until they are needed.

	Regards,
