[gedit-list] Bonobo usage in Gedit

[Ryan McDougall <NQG24419 nifty com>]

Hello,

I hope this is the correct place to talk about developing gedit, if not
please let me know.

I decided to look around gedit, and maybe start hacking it, and I
noticed that it uses Bonobo. Bonobo is still a bit of black magic to me,
so I was wondering what it is used for in gedit? Would d-bus be suitable
given the trend of removing Bonobo from components due to its
complexity?

How and why is Bonobo used?

Cheers,
Ryan
