I think the solution from Michael Meeks should apply even to you:

While you can use
	g_main_loop_quit(loop);

from 'another thread' (initiating the framework shutdown) and finally:

^	ctxt = g_main_context_default ();
^	loop = g_main_loop_new (ctxt, TRUE);
^	g_main_loop_run (loop);
->	CORBA_ORB_destroy (...);
