Yes, Bonobo is deprecated in favor of D-Bus. And panel applets (they still use Bonobo) seem to become deprecated as well with the new user interface for GNOME 3.0 (GNOME Shell [1]). Its design document [2] proposes a sidebar as an extension point for user-selected content. However, there is no concrete extension API at the moment. That's why some panel applet maintainers are upset [3].
