frankly I'd rather just link with gtkmathview as a library than
trying to depend on it as a bonobo component.  I've been bitten
badly in the past by distributions not really have the framework in
place to manage component level dependencies.  They tended to make
them reccomendations becuase there was no direct linkage.  Which
made it impossible to depend on the component existing.

Really ?

no.  gtk1 corresponded to bonobo1 which does not interoperate with
bonobo2 (was this due to problems in ORBit1 ?)
