Wouldn't the corba-correct method be to contact a well known
gmc-factory object for a reference to the server for a given 
gmc-instance (e.g. directory).  The factory would then create 
the instance if necessary, and return that instance's corba 
reference for use by the main program.  Or is that method
not well suited for a file browser?
