Correct. Since wine now is LGPL, if I should take on this task
I would look at orbit/bonobo from the Gnome project and how
the mozilla component in nautilus works. If there is some
usable in there a generic COM object with glue to bridge
Wine/COM to bonobo would be a nice addition to a wine
based desktop.
