Coming in on the thread late - yes, I agree 100%. 

Why on earth does GnomeSelector use Bonobo if it will still require a
C API?

Write a component, or write a widget. Mutant combinations are
complicated to understand and implement, hard to memory manage,
bloated, and just generally evil.

One object/type system per object!

If one of the object/type systems doesn't meet all needs, we have to
fix it long-term. Don't work around that by trying to use both at
once.
