Well, this is kind of whats happened. I mean the mailer, addressbook,
calendar all have their own separate code bases in the source tree but
share common things like some widgets, configuration code, etc. In
reality I could write a trivial hack that shows only one component at a
time (just remove the component buttons and have the New button only use
the items for the current component). Then just evolution-1.5 -c "mail"
or whatever to get the correct component. Nothing else would have to
change afaik.
Where we go in future is another matter. Perhaps apps without a common
"shell". That would certainly reduce some of bonobo ui usage (no need
to merge menus any more).
