I must confess that I actually haven't yet looked at the 2.0 development 
platform, although I am of course hoping to move to 2.0 at some point.  Is the
Bonobo framework in Gnome 2.0 drastically different than in 1.4?  If so, then
I should probably move to 2.0 now, since I'm essentially starting over
anyways.

Ok, I'll try to do this.

Thanks -- it's good to know that I'm at least understanding the problem;
that's usually most of the battle. :)
