	The bonobo framework is fairly compatible between 1.4 and 2.0, but
several things have changed the changes are documented in
libbonobo/changes.txt and libbonoboui/changes.txt, lots of cruft has
gone, and it's a lot cleaner now.

	I would reccommend targetting the Gnome 2.0 platform personally, since
a number of the problems you havn't hit yet are fixed there :-)

	Yep. As for .server files, they are just .oaf files, but renamed -
since oaf has been renamed to bonobo-activation in Gnome 2.0. [ and they
go in ${prefix}/lib/bonobo/servers instead of share/ wherever.
