Hi Stephen

It's really hard to say what's happen in your case. 

How it should work in theory (just overview, not with details exactly):

1. You pass the IOR and create CORBA_Object which corresponds to
control. (Do you use bonobo-activation?)

2. then you pack your BonoboControl to BonoboControlFrame

3. BonoboControlFrame asks remote control to create GtkPlug and get it's
X window id. 

4. Then communications start by XEmbed protocol between remote X Client
and your local Xserver.

You see it's quite complicated schema, so it's hard to make it work. The
problem can lie in CORBA communication, it also can be X server
authentication issue or even just your remote X client setup. The
easiest thing is to debug this situation.

Can you build bonobo with debug support and set up environment variables
BONOBO_DEBUG=all and ORBIT2_DEBUG=all. Then please collect logs of
communication between client and server and post them. Also some
debugging with gdb may help.
