OK, let's put it in the samples dir.

After it has matured, I will separately maintain an external version
because I believe that it would be helpful, just as gnome-hello was

to have added the example yet, so I'll just apply it and post an updated

Are the Bonobo2 changes quick enough for you to do yourself? I haven't
yet tried ORBit2/libbonobo2/libbonoboui2 environment, so it'll be a few
days until I can do it myself.
