CORBA is far from trivial. I presume you're already a proficient programmer (or something like that).
Yes, somewhat proficient. I write developer documentation for a little-known competing standard called COM+ -- one has to pay the bills, you know :-).
Thanks for your tips. I'm afraid that, given that I know not a single line of Phyton, that's not the way to go for me. I'm a C/C++/Perl guy, and while a nice CORBE client Perl module exists, there doesn't appear to be a CORBA server Perl module.
I did get lots of help from the friendly people on orbit-list@gnome.org, so if anyone encounters this thread in the future, I suggest you go there.
