	There are no API changes being made in Gnome 1 - you're quite right.
And, now there are no API changes being made in Gnome 2 - but for Gnome
2.1 there might be a way to do this more easily - yes :-)

	Well - it's just the way that the UI stuff happens to work; clearly it
might be better to tie a BonoboUIComponent to the Control in some way,
for now, you have to implement your own Bonobo::UIContainer as I
explained.

	Sigh; there is nothing comperable. You want to cut and paste the
bonobo-ui-container.c file, and stub all the methods, and just allow
yourself to extract the Bonobo_UIComponent handles that are added to it,
in order to poke the remote verbs.

	HTH,
