I just talked to Michael Meeks about Bonobo support in glade and
libglade, and he stated that it was "sub-optimal".  He also said that
Dietmar (I think that was it) was busy hacking on this, and that we
might see a new release with better Bonobo support in the next couple of
weeks, if not sooner.  The recomendation is to ship glade/libglade
without bonobo support if you're using the GNOME 1.4 packages.
