This is more of a GTK question I suspect but I thought that the X and GTK
libraries were not thread safe and so should only be called from the thread
running the X event loop?

I think what I need is to process the CORBA requests from inside the event
loop by having the event loop wake up whenever a CORBA request arrives and
let the CORBA system do its processing at that time, inside the event loop.
To do that I would have to add input callbacks for any sockets/pipes/file
descriptors that omniORB is using wouldn't I? Is that even possible with
omniORB?
