Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up late, very lazy - bad, didn't mail J' in time, argh.
Made bonobo honour the "have_icons_in_menus" setting, that I never knew existed.
Realised ORBit2 is totaly broken, the fast local case just doesn't work eg. sigh. more work.

Managed to fix several of the issues, stubs / skels / common compile in a warning free fashion - nice. Got the idl compiler producing nice skels, very nice in fact eg.

void
_ORBIT_skel_small_test_AnyServer_opAnyLong(POA_test_AnyServer *
					   _ORBIT_servant,
					   gpointer _ORBIT_retval,
					   gpointer * _ORBIT_args,
					   CORBA_Environment * ev,
					   CORBA_any *
					   (*_impl_opAnyLong)
					   (PortableServer_Servant _servant,
					    const CORBA_any * inArg,
					    CORBA_any * inoutArg,
					    CORBA_any ** outArg,
					    CORBA_Environment * ev))
{
   *(CORBA_any * *)_ORBIT_retval =
      _impl_opAnyLong(_ORBIT_servant, (const CORBA_any *) _ORBIT_args[0],
		      *(CORBA_any * *)_ORBIT_args[1],
		      (CORBA_any **) _ORBIT_args[2], ev);
}

Halved the stripped size of the skels - only half.
Got the support marshaler hacked into the poa, realized I wasn't supporting CORBA_Contexts - hmm. ignored for now.
Started to impl. the shrunk de-marshaler, had a funky idea for a recursive fn. to alloca space for some of the args. in a readable & efficient way. Got super simple cases working.
Rested on laurels instead of discovering the next evil problem - Quit while you're ahead!
Back home - watched Tivo with Taylor and his friend David. Taylor had not drunk enough to make his reactions slow enough such that the Tivo went back to the right spot. I think Tivo should use cuts to sync it's rewind - easy to detect. Stayed up very late watching nonsense.
