I -don't- know ORBit all that well, but since I've been poking about the
docs lately to figure out something a mico guru's been trying to explain
(and dense me hasn't figured out yet) but:

on POA shutdown, depending on POA policy, one of two things happens:
1. The object ceases to exist (policy: TRANSITORY);  this is the
documented default condition - so the behaviour you're seeing sounds like
a bug in -catching- this condition.

2. the object continues to exist (policy: PERSISTANT).  Now I'm not sure
-what- this means at this time....

[clip example - which looks fine?  But I don't know gnome either so..]

ORBit is 0.5.7 stable now - maybe that's it?
gnome is 1.2.11, gnome-core is umm 1.2.11 as well - but I'm running
Mandrake-cooker so...  but perhaps see if there's a newer ORBit package?
(MandrakeUpdate program?)

hrm.  Maybe this info will help someone.  I keep hoping to figure this
stuff out myself so :)

G'day, eh? :)
