Charles Hannum has noted that ORBit (GNOME's CORBA implementation) may
have some security issues.  Even if we have all of our GNOME software
running on a single machine, other machines on the network may be able
to connect to corba-using applications and do unfortunate things.

We should review the ORBit code for potential security issues before
deploying the prototype.
