Newbie questions

Hi!

I'm starting (again =) ) to program a Bonobo component/control. But I have
some questions. I beg you not to kill me for ask such basic questions. =)


First, which is the difference betweeen a Bonobo embeddable component and
a control? I mean, if I have a working program which uses GnomeCanvas, is
it ok to make it control?

As I understand, controls are just like GTK+ widgets, but it can be remote
(as any Bonobo component). And embeddables are... well... embeddables. I
mean I could embed a document of my program in, saying, gnumeric-bonobo.
Is this ok?

Does it make sense to make a component both control and embeddable?


Second, I saw on a CORBA client program to call:

	CORBA_Object_release ((CORBA_Object)orb, &ev);

after releasing all other CORBA objects. Is this line ok? I mean, the orb
is not a CORBA_Object after all, isn't it?


Thank you for your answers!
