	I'm not really sure how "component" is a misnomer, except in
the historical context of what it used to mean in Bonobo-land.  But
that has changed now that GNOME::Component is now a
GNOME::BonoboObject.  

	In English, a component is really a very general term, and
when we speak of building a "component model," we are speaking in very
general terms.  So I think that having the underlying base object in
our component model be called "component" is actually a good thing.
Using the word "component" to refer to anything more specific would
surely be misleading.

	With regards to GNOME::obj, well, "objs" are just hard to talk
about, mainly when you try to pluralize.
