The idea is a good one.  It is just worth talking to the people that
have attempted that in the past to get their input and feedback on the
problem.

DCOP is a message bus not really a COM+ replacement.

The message bus uses Xclient messages, so you need X as well.

Given that there are practically no COM applications on Unix, supporting
COM is a bit of a waste of time on Unix.  We might support XPCOM at some
point though.
