Mico was preferred because it supports more corba features that we need. 
Corba standards that mico provides that omniorb doesn't include:
	Dynamic Invocation Interface
	Dynamic Skeleton Interface
	Interface Repository
	All the BOA activation modes, + a library activation mode
	Implementation repository
	Event service

The two orbs interoperate well though, so there's no reason you couldn't
use omniorb to talk to the rest of gnome.

Cheers,

Phil.
