KDE rethinking Corba

[Dan Kegel <dank alumni caltech edu>]

According to http://lwn.net/daily/kdenews.html,
the KDE project has found their current CORBA support
bloats applications unpleasantly, and is considering
switching to in-process server loading for same-machine
plugins to an application.
See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=93734188322527&w=2
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=93758009911423&w=2
and http://kdecvs.stud.fh-heilbronn.de/cvsweb/kdelibs/corba/cuteidl/

Sounds like a big change.  Might this be an opportunity for 
Gnome and KDE to move closer together on Corba?
Have Gnome people run into this issue?
