I was just following the echo example on this test.  Up to this point 
I've just been doing a feasibility study of using ORBit.  As I 
understand "libbonobo" I will not be able to use it as a base for this 
project.  Correct me if I'm wrong but bonobo requires X and GNOME to be 
active on both clients and servers?

My application for CORBA is to do load distribution within an 
application server farm.  I need function level (concurrent) 
distribution and the current cluster solutions are parallel.  My 
research has lead me to CORBA as a good solution for parameter and 
results passing and as far as I've been able to conclude ORBit is the 
only "C" solution available.  Performance is an issue in this project so 
Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, C++, and all other OO languages are out. 
  I gave RPC some consideration but I didn't feel that option would 
provide as much flexibility in the future.

I will be looking at the ORBit2_Tutorial Frank mentioned later today.  I 
may become a bit of a pest on the list over the next few days/weeks so I 
hope everyone can bare with some questions that may seem naive and asked 
before.  After all I am new to CORBA and ORBit ;)
