	Um; but wait, we still work. The Gnome-libs headers can be used
from C++ since they do this, true the objects are not named Gnome::Canvas
but I imagine this doesn't cause too much lost sleep.

	I think there is a world of difference between having a cumbersome
object naming scheme and having to stick ugly extern's in your C++ code to
include headers that should know better =)

	Anyhow; it seems like what you are asking for is a) nice ORBit C++
wrappers, b) C++ interfaces for oaf which is a far taller order.

	Regards,

		Michael.
