Currently ORBit/Bonobo(?) is used in Gnome; and KPart(?) is used in KDE as high level IPC mechanisms. In other hand D-BUS is desktop neutral high level IPC mechanism. Support for GTK required many changes in the Emacs display code. I presume support for Qt would also require many such changes. That is where the work is. I don't know if Emacs works with Bonobo. I am not sure whether that is important. What features would we get by making Emacs work with Bonobo?
