	Bonobo is a component object model; it is implemented in C, it
currently has no C++ bindings, but they would be appreciated, however it
presents rather a moving target.

	There is a large amount of interest in improving the support for
C++ programmers both in Gtk and Gnome, we need you all over the
shop. Contact Karl Nelson <kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu> who I'm sure will
point you at a whole swathe of code that needs some loving care. You sound
like an ideal developer, don't go away =)

	HTH,
