Re: D-BUS replaces Bonobo?

We removed the CORBA dependency from KDE before KDE 2.0 was released, the process was something like this:

1. Torben's first KParts demo'd at KDE I. Based on shared libraries with each host having knowledge of the base classes it embedded and no IPC.

2. The second version developed for KDE 2.0 which was based on CORBA. This was removed in the months preceding KDE II with pretty much all of it removed by the end of the conference. This version was never part of a final release of KDE.

3. The current version of KParts based on shared libraries with DCOP for IPC and KTrader for picking components to load. This version can use virtual base classes to provide component independent interfaces such as that provided for text editors (hence the KVim part).

I meant the dependence on CORBA that KDE/Qt would have if it depended on accessibility technologies that require CORBA.
