	A Bonobo::UIContainer interface allows the (somewhat complex) XML
merging logic to work. The UIComponent spews XML and various property
sets / manipulations to the UIComponent, and the UIComponent builds a
display of it - in terms of Menu / Toolbar / Status widgets. The actual
grunt work is done by a BonoboUIEngine however which is separate to the
UIContainer, and the BonoboWindow. The BonoboUIEngine uses several
auxiliary objects to help it such as a BonoboUIXml object.

	HTH,
