yeah, that routine might get the target control well.

but most of Bonobo/Control implementations does not have
Bonobo/Stream interface in *.server;

$ bonobo-activation-run-query "repo_ids.has('IDL:Bonobo/Control:1.0')" | wc -l
     39
and
$ bonobo-activation-run-query "repo_ids.has('IDL:Bonobo/Control:1.0') AND repo_ids.has('IDL:Bonobo/PersistStream:1.0')"
number of results: 2
OAFIID:GNOME_GGV_Control
OAFIID:GNOME_EOG_Control

is really bad situation.
is that all the fault of implementations,
that does not provide stream interface *correctly*?
then, how does the lumiere can open files and play well
without the stream interface which is *essential part*?
