You hadn't understand me. I'm talking about implement the report engine
with Bonobo & the actual libgda "stable", then, when we finish the
bonobo one, we can port the report engine to this one easily, because we
don't have a hard dependencies on the rest of libgda.

I want to help you with this Bonobo port, but I can't stop the report
engine development until we finish the bonobo port, I will need it soon
and I think that we must have it finished (or almost useful) for the
Gnome 2.0 release.

Well, you are talking about the "split" of the actual gda report into a
Gnome 1.x version and a Gnome 2.0 version?

At the client part of gdareport we will need BonoboXObject if we modify
the IDL to use Bonobo, please, remember that I added the Report objects
at the gda-report IDL.
