Its not backportable. (Takes changes to the way toplevels handle
focus, among other things.)

I think Bonobo has hacked around many (if not all) of the problems by
sending stuff across the CORBA channel.

For things like gnomecc and the panel, we can probably just live with
the problems - they aren't severe for simple apps, if they are
fundemental.
