I can appreciate that. Besides, I don't think I need the extra
complication of learning Bonobo on top of everything else.

Ok, so perhaps the next point should be for folks to suggest a good

shows off correct practice that the GNOME developers would like to see
in new or converted G2 projects. 'Correct' being one of those loaded
