This is not caused by someting so sinister as requiring a "specific
snapshot" that Eazel is packaging. We haven't had to resort to anything like
that -- it would be nasty if a Nautilus release required some special Eazel
package.

The problem is just that the PR2 version of Nautilus requires the latest
Bonobo as of the time that PR2 was released (0.28). It's not compatible with
Bonobo 0.29, released after PR2, which changed the names of the Bonobo CORBA
functions among other things.

This will be resolved the next time we release Nautilus, because any future
release of Nautilus will work with Bonobo 0.31, and presumably so will
Evolution 0.8.
