	You can do it several ways - the standard object access method
with bonobo is the moniker system - sitting on top of oaf. So to access
the camera URL as a Bonobo/Stream you would do:

	stream = bonobo_get_object ("vfs:camera://my_image",
	                            "Bonobo/Stream");

	And you get a stream interface to that image.

	Please read bonobo/doc/Monikers,
