I just posted this:
#274616: “Simple” gnome applets in Unity - stickynotes
... where I could instantiate a Gnome 2 bonobo applet in a standalone window,
... using bonobo.ui.widget_new_control_from_objref in a Python script - here is a snippet:
...
bcontrol = bonobo.activation.activate_from_id('OAFIID:Invest_Applet', 0, False)
buiwid = bonobo.ui.widget_new_control_from_objref(bcontrol, win.get_ui_container().corba_objref())
win.set_contents(buiwid)
...
I find this method extremely convenient, so I was wandering whether one could do something similar with dbus bindings; either from Python or from C?
(I would personally gather not - as far as I've read around, it seems bonobo was specifically intended for instantiating one application in another; while dbus currently just exchanges messages; however, I'd like to have it confirmed).
