It's my understanding it provides the CORBA/ORB lookup; matching
requests for a service by "name" to the actual resource. But I could be
wrong here. I don't think too many GNOME apps really make use of it
*yet*. Anyway, it's a small process so it should hardly make a
difference for system resources. And, I think processes that might need
it may just restart it if it's not running. So, I don't think there's
much point in killing it.
