	Well; there are 2 points here.

	It seems to me that there is 0 point in keeping around a heavy
CORBA/Bonobo proxy for an otherwise dead AtkObject - so I think
(personally) that coupling the lifecycle of the BonoboObject primarily
to the AtkObject, and secondarily to the reference count would make more
sense than the current setup.

	Secondly - there are 3 places there may be a bug:

	a) libspi/ g_object reference counting - perhaps we leak a 
	   reference here, and the BonoboObject peer doesn't release it.

	b) cspi/ perhaps we don't release the remote reference correctly
	   when we quit.

	c) most likely - at-poke has an Accessible_ref / unref leak 
	   somewhere. I believe if you exit the app it should auto-cleanup
