The Bonobo Configuration System (BCS) consists of several parts.
An API to access configuration data, a database to store configuration
values in XML format and a system to visualise and edit configuration
data. The whole system is built on top of bonobo and ORBit (CORBA).

polishing from me.
Bonobo is the GNOME foundation for writing and implementing reusable
software Components. Components are pieces of software that provide
a well-defined interface and are designed to be used in cooperation
with other components. In the Bonobo universe, CORBA is used as
the communication layer that binds components together.

Gnome-print is a high-quality printing framework for GNOME.
Gnome-print implements:
* device-independent printing API, modelled loosely after
PostScript language.
* font abstraction that allows device-independent text
display (within reasonable limits).
* powerful configuration engine, dealing with all levels
of output pipeline set of actual printer drivers
(PostScript, PDF, fax).
* print preview widget.
* printer selector widget.
Originally created by yours truly, the port received additional
patches from Marc Matteo <marcm@lectroid.net> who also will maintain
it in the future.
