You should also note that the panel uses gnorba simply for backwards
compatibility, and in fact gnorba is no longer even included in the
developlent 2.0 platform gnome-libs, and thus will not be supported at all
for the 2.0 platform, meaning that the use of gnorba will become pretty much
impossible sometime during 2001.
