The way I read SO's docs is that some of its components (such as a charting
tool, equation editor) will be bonobozied and will be available for use in
other open source projects.  It doesn't look like they will make SO _itself_
use bonobo, though.  You might want to check with them to make sure on that
though.  I also just downloaded SO, and I didn't really like its ui at all.
We need a complete open-source office suite using gtk (SO doesn't) that has
a resonably fast loading time.

Gauging response on this list, I was planning to bring something up the the
nautilus and gnome-dev mailing lists.
