In fact, I'd like to ask for a different approach:
I'd like to be able to access these data through a (non portable)
API. The reason is that I might (from within the user interface we
are writing) want to inspect the different objects. This would
help a lot debugging the system. Otherwise it's quite difficult
to trace where the dangling pointers come from since there are
so many objects created temporarily. Each event (mouse move etc)
triggers a traversal of the scene graph involving the creation
and destruction of quite a couple of Regions, Transforms and other
CORBA objects...

Thanks,	Stefan
