It does work - I was using it :)

NautilusViews are bonobo components, but writing a special-purpose component
to do the terraservice stuff would be pretty cool too. I've heard really good
things about the python-bonobo bindings.

*flash-of-light*

What would be really cool would be a bonobo component that would be a proxy
for SOAP requests. It shouldn't take too long with python-bonbo and Soapy.
That way it would be really easy to integrate SOAP services with GNOME.
