  I don't deeply know about how CORBA is used in the GNOME/bonobo framework.

  If libbonobo uses ORBit mainly via common CORBA layer, we could use 
``CORBA-Ruby language mapping interface'' we'll define.
  On this way, libbonobo-ruby need not take care of which CORBA implementation
is used. You get and access to bonobo object(if it exists) as a CORBA::Object
instance. Of cause, someone rewrite ruby-orbit to fit the mapping but it is
more easy task than a task to make ruby-orbit more completion.


  BTW, testing Rinn is very easy if you are under GNOME.

$ wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rinn/Rinn-Ridl-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf Rinn-Ridl-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ ruby -I Rinn Rinn/test/gnome-name-service.rb

  That's all ;-)
