	Ah ! - in which case yes; just run the glib mainloop instead of your
custom one so:

	CORBA_ORB_init ();

	loop = g_main_loop_new(g_main_context_default(), TRUE);
	g_main_loop_run (loop);

	CORBA_ORB_destroy ();

<signal handler>
	g_main_loop_quit (loop);

	As above; we hook into the default glib main context.

	Sounds interesting.

	Really ? that's pretty bad; prolly your servant I'd guess.
