Hello John,

People certainly seem to be moving away from Bonobo and towards D-BUS
(http://dbus.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus,
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-dbus.html), the
reason being that CORBA is big and difficult to use, while D-BUS is much
simpler (or so I'm told).

However, I can't seem to find any official plans saying when/if D-BUS
will be the recommended IPC mechanism for Gnome. I think the jury is
still out.
