  I don't think it is possible.  You are completely violating the CORBA
architecture, you know?.. :)
  
  If you are trying to get one process per servant with bonobo
activation, I think you can request activation with the private flag
set, like this:
	obj = bonobo_activation_activate("iid=='OAFIID:foobar'",
                                         NULL, Bonobo_ACTIVATION_FLAG_PRIVATE,
                                         NULL, NULL);
With this client code, you should get one process per object.

  No! Stop torturing yourself! :)

  Be prepared to do some debugging, then :)

  You're welcome.  Regards.
