Looks like wxWidgets issue to me.  I general, it is not advisible to 
have GUI code elsewhere than the main thread.

http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.4.2/wx428.htm says among other 
things:

"""Note that under GTK, no creation of top-level windows is allowed in 
any thread but the main one.

 This function is only defined on platforms which support preemptive 
threads."""

So I suggest you use a queue+timer or some such to transfer the 
drawing info to the main thread from OmniORB thread. Implementation 
left as an exercise for the reader ;-).
