Gnome: Gnu Network _Object Model_ Environment

They use Corba with a layer on top of it called Bonobo to expose things.
They're not there yet; many Gnome apps don't seem to do bonobo yet,
but they're surely aware of it and they'll get there.

KDE has kparts, which I know less about, but is out to accomplish the
same type of thing.
