	Read the samples in the libbonobo source distributions.

	We ship several sets of sample code with the libbonobo[ui] tar balls -
as well as lots of regression tests all of which use the Bonobo API in
various (sometimes contorted) ways.

	Simply pull the source for libbonobo or libbonoboui and look in
samples/

	Regards,
