Jamie,
Thanks so much for your help. I discovered that my liborbit2 package
was a gnoppix package, and so downgraded/upgraded and/or installed
packages as necessary to match the list you provided me, and now my
bonobo/orbit-based apps work splendidly.
I now have the following installed:
ii bonobo 1.0.20-1 The GNOME Bonobo System.
ii bonobo-activat 2.2.2-1woody1 Bonobo Activation Framework
ii gtkhtml3.0 3.0.10-0jds2 HTML rendering/editing library - bonobo comp
ii libbonobo-acti 2.2.2-1woody1 Bonobo Activation Framework -- development f
ii libbonobo-acti 2.2.2-1woody1 Bonobo Activation Framework -- runtime libra
ii libbonobo2 1.0.20-1 The GNOME Bonobo library.
ii libbonobo2-0 2.2.3-1woody1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library
ii libbonobo2-com 2.2.3-1woody1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library -- developme
ii libbonobo2-dev 2.2.3-1woody1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library -- developme
ii libbonobomm1.3 1.3.5-3woody2 C++ wrappers for libbonobo2 (shared library)
