	Well - that's true enough. The code should be in libbonoboui - and I'd
be pro moving it to 'foo-module-pending-fold-in' or whatever we're going
to call it; the issue is however that the kind of cleanup I'm going to
implement is not generally applicable to everything - it would base the
component app's lifecycle on the number of controls with valid views.
That is somewhat more robust that the current scheme, but only works if
your implementation just sits there serving remote controls and does
nothing else :-)

	I'm hoping that with Gtk+ 2.2 we can get rid of the need to activate a
separate process per display, and can do things more beautifully &
efficiently.
