As I said in another message, I think this can best be fixed by using
a queue in ORBit for oneway delivery.

I also think that this issue is largely theoretical, and will not end
up causing the Nautilus UI to block all the time when using
non-nautilus-specific components, as opposed to the current situation,
where it does.

However, using "oneway" is not the essential part of my proposal. If
there is a better way to avoid blocking behavior, I'd love to use
that.
