Bonobo is the GNOME equivelent to COM or OpenDoc or KParts.  It allows you 
to embed apps in one another (i.e. put a gnumeric spreadsheet into an 
abiword document).  It's built on CORBA (OmniORB), so it works not only on 
the desktop, but across the network.

What is Bonobo?  I know I've heard the name, but don't remember
what it is. From you're context, it sounds like something similar to
M$ Windows clipboard. I mention this because, unfortunately,
most desktop people still have to use M$, me included.

Thought for today:  greenbar n. 

 A style of fanfolded continuous-feed paper
   with alternating green and white bars on it, especially used in
   old-style line printers.  This slang almost certainly dates way back
   to mainframe days.
