Bonobo probably uses GtkPlug/GtkSocket, which have no implementation on
DirectFB.  I suggest you dig into bonobo to see if that is correct, and
then implement these (if possible at all).

One of the long-term goals is to remove Bonobo entirely, but it's a lot
of work.  Your best bet is to add some debugging hooks into the stub
GtkPlug/GtkSocket source to see if they are being called, which would
explain your problem.
