ok this might be a problem of loading the applets before corba is initialized
SO ... the applet_register never seems to get called (which is what clears
the id_str and makes it the IOR) ... this was a slight hack which I didn't
clean up yet, id_str should only contain IOR and be NULL in all other cases,
however it has not been cleaned up enough yet 

the panel should never call the applet before the applet does the
applet_register call and tells the panel it's IOR ...
