You should be able to get at the component manager through Carbon.Cm, 
so Carbon.Cm.OpenDefaultComponent() is the routine you want.

But note that the component manager is (a) rather old code, (b) hardly 
ever used, at least by me, so (c) only very lightly tested. So: if it 
doesn't work then the fault is probably mine.

Please report back here whether it works. And if you can come up with a 
sufficiently simple example that would be very much appreciated too!
