Introduction

CORBA is present everywhere in GNOME: the File Manager, the Panel, the Window Manager and Bonobo all use CORBA to achieve clean interfaces between applications. This chapter aims at giving you an idea of where you will find CORBA stuff in GNOME, how it solves some problems of ORBit and gives a few hints about some nice hacks used everywhere in Bonobo.
