Can you elucidate on the gnome-print/bonobo dependency here ?

Right now nautilus has a dependency on gnome-print only because bonobo
depends on it.

Can we use gnome-print off a tarball while using bonobo HEAD ?

I guess the same question applies to gtkhtml.

If the answer is no, then would it be ok for you guys to do a
gnome-print release now that works with both bonobo and gtkhtml and will
continue to do so for the foreseeable future ?

thanks
