Gnome 1.4 oaf fixage suggestion.

[Michael Meeks <michael ximian com>]

Hi all,

	The simple solution I was anticipating to the 'hundreds of
oafd' processes problem is to add relatively simple 'ping'
functionality into oafd - ie. with no interface changes.

	oafd - instruments its methods to postpone the timeout.

	On timeout 1,
		if (have_registered_objects) {
			* churn through registered objects,
			* do an async ref/unref pair on the object, 'ping'
			* on exception de-register object
			* schedule timout 1
		} else
			* exit;

	On timout of async method(s)
		* de-register each object

	Or similar.

	How does that sound ?

		Michael.
