Looking at it some more, this really makes no sense... Do I really have 
to fire off a separate thread to run a glib mainloop in the client? 
Obviously we can't do it from the parent thread, as this actually does 
the client ops. Also, how do you handle locking so that you only begin 
client operations after the CORBA_ORB_run() has begun?  This really 
doesn't make much sense to me...
