I assume that you mean: What shall I do when I has been using an app (that 
is using some CORBA plugins), and then the CORBA server crashes, and I've 
got a lot of unsaved data...
Right?
(I allso assume that all known bugs in the crashing program has been fixed)


Ok, I'll admit it: I doesn't now much about CORBA either...


One crappy, but functional solution would be to have at least one 
window/menubar etc. contained whithin the main process. If one CORBA server 
crasches, you'll still have one window, and *if* you are lucky, enough 
functionality to save your work or even reconnect to the server when it's 
working again...

(And of course, you can allways do a #kill -9 on your main process :)
