It looks like something with the oaf_popt_options (needed for correct
OAF use). And looking at the code, I've seen that they're not used if
using GNORBA. So, it's now added to CVS (it's just the
gda-srv/gda-server-init.c file).

But, please, switch to OAF as soon as you can. As Michael Meeks says:
"GNORBA is dead". I suppose, if you're really using Bonobo with GNORBA,
it's because of Abiword, is it? If so, as soon as I come back from my
holidays, I offer my help to make the switch to OAF. If not, you can
look at the gnome-db code, and look for the "#if defined(USING_OAF)" to
see the differences.

In a couple of hours or so, I'll check in the gnome-db2 module, and from
then, please use it, although there are some things in gnome-db that are
not present in gnome-db2. But the front end is basically there, and the
manager is complete.

The libgda module is complete, so you'll find there the same than in
gnome-db. But this is (almost) OAF-only!!

But, if you are going to send patches, do it against gnome-db2 and
libgda.

cheers!
