Michael, 

The purpose is not for "big widgets" per se, but simply for widgets
that for any reason at all are not appropriate for gtk or
gnome-libs. I don't think that bonobo is the best solution for all of
these, but it is possible. We should determine the requirements and
then figure out if Bonobo can meet them. Still waiting on our sysadmin
to create that list, but it should be available RSN...
