Yes, you are  right: it is beautifull (i mean it) and elegant
but understanding the relationships between the interfaces in not really
an easy task if looking at this implementation which, quite rightly, 
hides all CORBA from the programmer.

The idea was to show how the interfaces work, not how the API
work. The api is straightforward to understand thanks to its excellent 
doc and to the samples with bonobo. The document i wrote concentrates
on the CORBA stuff, not its GNOME implementation or anything else.
There is some discussion on GNOME/Bonobo implementation but only when it
serves as a way to understand the fundamental points. ie: the CORBA 
interfaces.
