When you put in the CORBA interfaces, could you put in an interface that
doesn't require a connection to the X server to run the object.  This
would be very useful when writing a pilot conduit for gnome-pilot.  Also,
is there any chance of getting unique record ids added to gnomecard and
gnomecal?  I am not sure if vCal and vCard support it but it would, once
again, make the pilot conduits work much better :)  I would be willing to
add the record id changes myself after some of the gnome-pilot stuff
settles down if you think it is a reasonable thing to do.
