Hello!
I'm running RH7 with ORBit-0.5.6, oaf-0.6.1, bonobo-0.31 and GConf-0.11
upgraded from eazel hourly distro (200012270216-200012270216). 
Also upgraded/updated the build environment from RH mirror and some
packages from spidermonkey.helixcode.com RH7 dir.

some problems/notices:
- gnome-db configure doesn't check whether gal and libglade devels are
installed
- the purpose of online help system is unclear to me, could it be just
 on the help menu to open gnome-help separately?
- at least the connect is now successful (thanks, Rodrigo)
- the provider manager doesn't reflect the status of providers (seems like
down while the process actually runs). Can't shut down the provider either.
kill -HUP doesn't shut the provider down. kill -KILL helps.
- sometimes making connection in the database component fails somehow
leaving the opening connection popup window open/sometimes closes it, but
the connection is made successfully in the second attempt. This only
happens with the mysql provider. Postgres provider seems to be ok the first
time.
- in the database sql widget running a select query always fails, two
Error Viewer windows pop up with two messages:
IDL:CORBA/BAD_OPERATION:1.0: An Error occured in the CORBA system.
%s: An Error occured in the CORBA system.
The other error viewer window only shows 1/1, but contains actually 2
messages
like the first one. browsing around the messages, closing first window,
then
clicking 'next' on the other crashes the database component.
As you can guess, no grid with database rows appears :) What's the
appropriate orbit/oaf/bonobo version to use?
gda-test works ok with postgres provider and the browser shows the
table structures (Types page should have a bigger text widget).
- otherwise, good work! (what about the etable that can be
modified and the database data updated afterwards, this would make
it a whole lot more usable?)
