OK, I worked through libbonobo2, GConf2, and gnome-vfs2.  Anything
dependent on GConf (and installs schemas) certainly needs postinstall
and preremove scripts; see gnome-vfs2 for examples.  I worked from your
source packages, changed the build-scripts, READMEs, setup.hints, etc.
Please take a look at these packages and if you like what I did, then
feel free to take them (I'd rather not maintain these ones, but I'm
willing to help package this time to get us started).

Notes (which may not be showstoppers):

libbonobo:
* make check seems to get stuck at test 13, not sure why (waiting for
something to close?).

GConf:
* gconftool-2 --shutdown does not kill gconfd-2 (not a surprise);
* good news:  Gnome2::GConf tests against this look good.

gnome-vfs:
* I included the necessary postinstall and preremove scripts, these
~  could be used as a template for later GConf-dependent packages;
* I built gnome-ls (http://mrod.interfree.it/index.html) against this,
~  seems to work properly;
* Gnome2::VFS tests raise errors:

The Gnome2::VFS owner wasn't online tonight, so I'm not sure what are
the cause(s) of these failed tests.

I've uploaded packages (forgot the setup.hints, but they're in the
source packages) to http://cygwin-ports.sourceforge.net/install/temp/
for you.

N.B.  I forgot that gnome-vfs probably depends on shared-mime-info and
gnome-mime-data; these should be added to the setup.hint at least, if
not the README if you get the chance.
