Bonobo probably somewhat worked at one time (circa 0.86), but was never
maintained, and decayed. The gtk2.0 transition in CVS gave it another blow.
At this point it's a faint memory if anything else (for instance, I've never
ever ran it, for lack of a suitable container).

If you can gently point me at good documentation (such as "bonoboify your
application in 5 simple quick steps HOWTO"), and if that reveals a SHORT and
SIMPLE task, with real feature benefits, then bonobo-dia might raise from its ashes.
