yes, I agree with you, but I think it would be great to also have OAF-only bindings,

since there may be cases when you only want to use OAF, and not Bonobo
to activate objects.

Anyway, I suppose doing something like:

$obj = Bonobo->get_object("OAFIID:GNOME_App_MyComponent",
"IDL:GNOME/App:1.0");

would work?
