  It's one thing to create a CORBA server object implementing the
Bonobo::PersistStream interface. It's another different thing to create
a BonoboObject class that implements the same interface. The former
cannot be agregated into an existing BonoboObject, since
bonobo_add_interface takes a BonoboObject as argument, not
Bonobo_Unknown. In python, right now, one can easily create arbitrary
CORBA servers, but not BonoboObject based servers. I'm hoping that will
change soon, since programming in python is much more fun than C :)
  In short, I can create a Bonobo::PersistStream interface, but I cannot
add it to my bonobo.Control

  I'll try that, thanks!
  If it works, I will try to document it! ;)
