Carbonite isn't natively a Broker addon (sad thing) and depend on Broker_Carbonite to show Carbonite as an icon/menu. I think the Broker interface itself is part of WowAce. What the user sees can be compared to Fubar. There are F2B and B2F addons, that I am not sure works anymore as most people have moved away from Fubar me thinks .

Anyway Broker_Carbonite have been filling the gab for a long time. Unfortunately with the patch of Carbonite after 5.3 everything seemed broken, and the whole thing seems to be connected to a missing NxData.NXGOpts. In fact, line 20-23 (or so, I'm using notepad for this) of broker (Broker_Carbonite) says:

Code:
-- ACE Methods
function Carb:OnInitialize()
	NxData.NXGOpts["MapMMButShowCarb"] = false
end
Maybe you can give some hints to what this should be saying.

Also the whole module seem to refer a lot to functions in a Nx structure/scope. I presume (without too much investigation) that Nx/NXGOpts was a way to keep certain items global.

Hope you read this Rythel and keep up the otherwise great work.
And in any case excuse my ramblings.
