  Well, unfortunately my server is in Python, so I can't do that:
deriving from BonoboObject in python is not supported (yet, I hope). In
addition, since the C object is deprecated, the python maintainers
refuse to do a python wrapper for it. I'm stuck. :(

  On a related subject, how does one create a Bonobo::Stream object? I
have managed to create one for reading using monikers, but I am unable
to create one for writing. This would be used for saving a component to
a file using the Bonobo::PersistStream interface.
