We want to use CORBA and our component model like this:

	- Use CORBA to export the services of certain applications.

	  This allows users to script gnome, remote gnome toys
	  remotely with perl::mico and with the soon to be released
	  JavaScript by Netscape (which already includes CORBA support
	  and has Gtk bindings thanks to Mike Shaver at Netscape.

	- Use CORBA as a layer where we will implement a component
	  model based on either OpenDoc or Active-X.

	  Apparently Active-X defines both the component model and a 
	  document model.  We could just use Active-X's design running
	  on top of CORBA for this task.
