You don't think a desktop is a large application suite?

AFAIK all you need is libbonobo and ORBit2; but if you're really
interested in lightwight, you should look at DBus here
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus .

Also check out http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove for some good tutorials.
If there isn't a tutorial for bonobo, you might try to write one for us.
