To get OAF to activate distant servers, you need to register a distant ObjectDirectory
with your local ActivationContext. I do not think there is any code right now to help 
you do that but to do so, I would suggest writing raw CORBA code and hack oafd on the
distant machine so that it prints somewhere the IOR of its local ObjectDirectory...

I would be happy to help with this if you have time: just join on irc: irc.gnome.org
#nautilus, my nickname is 'mathieu'. Perhaps we can even get around to design an API 
to ease this kind of details in liboaf....
