the problem is because you've got OAF installed (and Bonobo compiled
with OAF), but the 0.0.96 does not work with OAF. So you've got two
solutions:

* re-compile Bonobo without OAF (--enable-oaf=no in configure)
* get the latest version of gnome-db from CVS (or the CVS snapshot from
the web page) which works with OAF.

This reminds me that we should make a new release ASAP so that we don't
get more people with these problems, as I assume lots of people have now
OAF installed because of Evolution.
