Yes. 
- When a corba application calls boa->impl_is_ready() it blocks
	(waiting to serve messages from other corba objects).
- When a gtk application calls gtk_main_loop() it blocks 
	(waiting to serve events from X).

Therefore we can't have a interactive corba-enabled gtk application in a
single process without threads.

Cheers,

Phil.
