It depends. You can either use orb->perform_work() interleaved with the 
windows msg processing or you can run orb->run() in a separate thread 
(which is what I prefer).
Note that it shouldn't matter in which thread you run your CORBA init 
sequence as long as you run orb->run() in it's own thread.
Note also that you have to take a bit of care on shutdown. (Common 
thread sync / wait for completion problems.)
