It might meet your specific requirement, but I wouldn't put it in. In the
long term we're going to need a complete solution, rather than just a
change to avoid using the X display. Your proposed solution doesn't take
into account networkability at all - you're not thinking about what
happens when people run programs on different computers in the same GNOME
session.

In the long term, libgnorba is going to be able to do what you want it to
do the "right" way :), and in the short term no new functionality is going
into libgnorba. Of course, you're welcome to maintain a patch for your
personal libgnome, and I'd be interested in looking at the results of such
an implementation.
