Hello Jason.
	You are rigth, bonobo is based on CORBA. But bonobo has standard interfaces
(this is really a dangerous and powerful point) for embedding objects and
managing embeddable objects in containers.
	You ought to notice that bonobo is related with OBJECTS -this is a good
reason for standarizing CORBA interfaces- and gnorba-helper is associated to
GNOME APPLICATIONS (more general) in order to facilitate that ALL GNOME apps
can be easily servers and/or clients. In other words, if you had coded one
GNOME/Gtk application you will convert quickly it into a server with
gnorba-helper; then other apps will can able to use your application (like you
can use others).
