That was what we tried when KDE was still using CORBA indeed, and it wasn't a 
very big success which is why we dropped it and basically split our component 
technology (KParts) from our inter-process communication (DCOP). From what I 
understand GNOME repeated that idea with Bonobo and what I heared at GUADEC 
that too sort of failed to take off.

Some people at Sun have written an interesting paper on the issue (long before 
Bonobo btw):
