Just a clarification here, KDE HASN'T DROPPED CORBA, Only that the INTRA M/C
communication++  has been re written to use the features provided by X and
Shared libraries , this includes things like EMBEDDING one application in
ANOTHER. Thus speeding up most of the NORMAL DeskTOP Applications.

However CORBA support will still remains for DISTRIBUTED applications.
