If things are ugly, why would I be compeled to use it?  Specially in
the world of free software, where people are not paid to do things.

In KDE you can do stuff like (not sure about the syntax):

	dcopclient --app KWrite --command 'insertText "Hello"' 

In the GNOME world we will have:

	bonoclient --app
	OAFID:GNOME:Gnumeric:Bonobo:1.0:01203-02343-q9450-11029-48101-3924 --command 'insertText "Hello"' 

If I am looking for a platform to do my scripting, I am more likely
going to use something sane, and not the Bonobo solution.
