I'm not sure why it would take a year. It doesn't look that complicated. But, yes, using ILU or Fnorb would allow us to talk to the ORBit at the core of gnome, if necessary, albeit slower and more memory intensive. Additionally, since both Fnorb and ILU seem to be using the same bindings I mentioned in the other mail, it should just be a matter of swapping "import ilu" with "import orbit" (well, probably a little more work, but it definitely won't require a substantial rewrite). justin
