well, the original pb was this, no ?

If i understood, you wanted to get the CORBA_Object of your GNOME_Object oi ?
Well, it is possible to use gnome_object_to_servant on oi and 
PortableServer_Servant_servant_to_object
to get the CORBA_Object from you GnomeObject...

But Miguel's answer seems to be the other way: he has the CORBA_Object and 
assumes you want the corresponding GnomeObject. Is that what you really 
wanted ?
If so, the way is to do: PortableServer_Servant_object_to_servant on your 
CORBA_Object and then use gnome_object_from_servant
However, last time i tried to use this function it was not implemented
by ORBit.

Have i answered your question ? or am i completely wrong ?
