The bonobo stuff is only used when compiling for GTK 2 with Gnome support. I generally discourage compiling with Gnome, it has its problems. This is mentioned in the Makefile. If you compile without Gnome, which is the default, no bonobo stuff is used by Vim. If a bonobo library is still linked in then it's because of a dependency. -- Scientists decoded the first message from an alien civilization: SIMPLY SEND 6 TIMES 10 TO THE 50 ATOMS OF HYDROGEN TO THE STAR SYSTEM AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, CROSS OFF THAT STAR SYSTEM, THEN PUT YOUR STAR SYSTEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST AND SEND IT TO 100 OTHER STAR SYSTEMS.
