Between oaf, bonobo, and orbit, I keep getting confused. I know what ORBit 
does, basically, it's a CORBA implementation (that's similar vaguely to 
DCOM/COM, right?) So what does oaf or bonobo do, then? And if Gnu 
Enterprise is going to depend on our db-api, and they need it be portable 
to non-Gnome environments, how are we going to do that (or is there a 
project to port bonobo to non-GTK environments)?
