	Right; that's it. Hmm; so - I guess the constraint to add is - you can
only run the link inferior loop if you can acquire the glib mainloop.
Could you try adding:

	g_main_context_acquire();
	g_main_context_release();

	at top and tail of link_main_iteration - I'd be interested if that
fixes the problem; Then again, thinking about it that won't work since
the mainloop is recursively dispatching stuff.

	I guess the solution is - you either run the gmainloop on the 'main'
thread (that which initialises the ORB) or not at all.

	However, you don't need to run it at all now so ...

	HTH,

		Michael.
