I thought it did, but that was incorrect. The protocol it uses behind the scenes was switched from CORBA to D-Bus before upstream maintenance ended. If someone (you or otherwise) wants to keep libgnome, libgnomeui or libbonobo* alive, *that* is the dependency tree that would require orbit2 and libidl (the "Network Object Model" part of the original expansion of the GNOME acronym). smcv
