Well, there is a deeper problem.  apply_global_config is called before the
panel_corba_gtk_main.  The problem is that orb is not initialized until
that function.  I am not sure what the correct fix here is.  Maybe this is
why there was a delayed applet loading queue?  The reason I am not moving
the CORBA_ORB_init call is because I don't know when ev becomes valid.  I
think that the orb initialization should be moved out of gtk_main before
apply_global_config to fix the problems.
