  Thanks for the clarification.  Now I vaguely remember reading about
this.  I just didn't recognize the name.

  BTW, regarding GEP 5, I don't agree that POAManager states aren't
useful.  Just because something isn't widely used doesn't mean it is not
useful.  Maybe developers just don't it is there.  I think that
siwtching between the 'holding' and 'active' states can be very useful
to keep reentrancy under the developer's control.

  Back to the subject, you could have a valid argument indeed, or maybe
not.  Does GObject adaptor provide implementation inheritance, like
BonoboObject?  If so, maybe we can implement BonoboObject in
bonobo-activation instead of libbonobo.  If not, it's still best to
merge, because having to implement BonoboObject twice is not a good
solution.
