AFAIK ORBit is an open source ORB that they adopt. But it only supports the
CORBA C language mapping. Programming to that mapping, and doing
distributed object software in C whatever the mapping, is insane, except in
two situations:
1) You are insane :)
2) Your code is not really very distributed, nor very OO. You are using
CORBA only to expose a tiny, so-so-OO interface to the external world. You
are using CORBA as a "better RPC". Seems to be the case in GNOME.
