Public data, not private. Sorry.

'new CORBA object reference' is my way of saying 'create a new client 
instance of the CORBA object'.

BTW - The statement should be allmost the same for private data, but 
instead of creating a new client to an existing server, you would call a 
Baboon factory to create a new server (object) with the private data (this 
can be done, correct?). This would be handled transparently by the 
'clipboard library'.

Anyway, I cannot see that the actual clipboard would have to be 'Baboon 
aware' - it should be enough if the 'clipboard library' was that. (So I 
belive that it would be the Right Thing to write the gnome clipboard as 
fast as possible.)
