I started with Bonobo-bindings yesterday and I am surpriced of how easy
it was to get going.  As of now I can only do one thing, create
containers and put bonobo-components in them.

here is some example code (just for fun)

require 'gtk'
require 'bonobo'

def create_app
        bonobo_win = Bonobo::Window.new("test", "a ruby/bonobo test")
        bonobo_win.set_usize(200, 120)
        uic = Bonobo::UIContainer.new
        uic.set_win(bonobo_win) # This is deprecated (shouldn't be used)


        # This is the C-bonobo-component from the Bonobo tutorial
        monkier = "OAFIID:GNOME_BonoboTutorial_IPCtrl_Control" 

        control = Bonobo::Widget.new(monkier, uic)

        # FIXME: add listener to controls property bag (not done yet)

        box = Gtk::VBox.new(TRUE, 2)
        box.pack_start(control)
        bonobo_win.set_contents(box)
        button  = Gtk::Button.new("clear")
        box.pack_start(button)
        button.signal_connect("clicked") { |w| print "clicked" }
        bonobo_win.signal_connect("destroy") {|w| exit }
        bonobo_win.show_all
        return FALSE
end


Bonobo.init
Gtk.idle_add { create_app }
Bonobo.main

works great :)

However, Bonobo uses corba and we don't have a working
ruby-orbit-binding.  There is a ruby-orbit-project that is abandoned.
This means that this Bonobo-binding will be alittle limited (not bad..
but some)
