	It's a CORBA handle to an object that exposes the Bonobo::UIContainer
interface, such that a Bonobo::UIComponent can register with it.

	Yes. It's valid for the UIContainer to be NULL; lots of BonoboWidget's
have no associated BonoboUIContainer, eg. those used to embed controls
inside toolbars :-)
