This issue "libbonobo2-0: Breaks evolution" should really be properly 
fixed.

To be honest, I don't consider solutions like writing "reboot" or 
"remove orbit stuff (in /tmp) and restart GNOME" in a note a proper 
solution.

It can't be right that a new minor version of a library requires such 
manual intervention For example, how should a restart of all GNOME and 
Evolution/... instances work properly on big machines serving many thin 
clients?

Debian is well-known for smooth upgrades, and Debian managed the
libc5 -> libc6 upgrade without requiring a reboot - why should such 
small library upgrades require that much manual intervention of the 
user?
