DrGeo is Gnome independant, once upon a time DrGeo was DrGenius and it
depended widely of Gnome1.4, the pain to move to Gnome 2.0 was so hight
(deprecated MDI component) it was decided to rely only in GTK+ and I
will very well with that.

So Bonobo and Gnome dependencies can only be optional within Dr.Geo.

Probably the drgeo/TODO file should be updated with realistic content
and especialy where we want to go and whichi features we want to add. I
have copied the drgeo/TODO as it is in the wiki at
http://www.ofset.org/wiki/index.php/DrGeoTodo I have left the stuff
marked as _done_ so we can see the progress done, it couldl be removed
sooner or later.
