Sorry for being unclear, I mean that this od_ function could be replaced with a
bonobo_object_activate_with_id, which, internally, just uses
oaf_activate_from_id, or the query: moniker, or whatever. Or are the
other bonobo_object functions also to be deprecated?

IMO, a bonobo_object_activate_with_id function, along with the other
bonobo_object functions, are quite useful, so that people don't have to
deal with OAF (or monikers, or whatever)

cheers
