This may be of interest to other readers here.. After delving around in
the ORBit CORBA_ORB_run code, I appear to have found a way to poll ORBit
within my application's own main loop, as follows:

Before the main loop:
	extern gboolean orb_server_keep_running;
	
	ORBit_custom_run_setup(orb, &ev);
	assert(ev._major == CORBA_NO_EXCEPTION);
	orb_server_keep_running = TRUE;

In the main loop:
	giop_main_iterate(FALSE);

It certainly seems to work so far.

Hope this helps some of you,
Gareth
