Not quite. omniORB 4.0 supports the main thread POA policy, meaning
calls are dispatched in the main application thread. For that to work,
the ORB must be given the main thread with either orb->run() or
orb->perform_work(). If you don't use the main thread policy (which
you shouldn't, because it's evil), there is still no need to call
orb->run().

Cheers,

Duncan.
