Bonobo is designed to be simple to implement, here are some of the key 
features in this regard:

	* Simple base class (only 3 methods for providing garbage
	  collection and dynamic discovery of services).
	
	* Everything is based on single inheritance.

	* the Gtk-based implementation uses Gtk objects to represent
	  CORBA servers.

	* Many concepts are grabbed from OLE2 (Object linking and
	  embedding). 

	* Doing non-C or non-GTK+ based implementations of Bonobo is
	  simple, as there is little to implement.

best wishes,
Miguel.
