That was a thing on the GNOME desktop (GNOME being short for GNU Networked Object Model Environment). The CORBA framework was called bonobo, and it was basically a very early version of what's now achieved via dbus. KDE had its own equivalent, known as DCOP. AIUI, both systems were replaced altogether when dbus became a thing.
