Ok, that clears some things up.  That makes me confused about a few 
other things however...

How is it I can run m_pORB->run() for each window if in fact there is 
just one orb?  What is really happening when I call m_pORB->run() for 
each window?

Each window has it's gui thread plus a thread for the CORBA event loop. 
  How do I break out of the CORBA event loop for an individual window if 
I can't use m_pORB->shutdown(0)?

Thanks for your help.  Again, I am pretty new to CORBA and can't claim I 
completely understand what is happening behind the scenes in terms of CORBA.
