It can be fixed still if it has problems. But due to the second problem
it's a question indeed.

Another solution would be to fix gtkhtml to not use libbonoboui. There
were some efforts about that, for example evolution has kill-bonobo
branch in active development.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/kill-bonobo/

Probably this needs more serious discussion on evolution-devel. As well
as it illustrates that even a very minor change like deprecation of
public API can cause serious problems. Probably goal and deprecation
wasn't well thought out.
