	* e-shell-view.c (unrealize): As a quasi-hack, do a gdk_flush()
	when the shell view is unrealized so that the DeleteEvent gets
	sent to the remote plugs as soon as possible before we start
	making other CORBA calls.  The problem is that our CORBA pipe is
	synchronous while our X pipe is asynch.  We have to ensure
	ordering for certain operations.  This is NOT the correct and
	complete fix, which should go in Bonobo.
