I've attached a patch to o-p from cvs that does the threading changes.
You'll need pygtk compiled without threads (or from CVS with
PYGTK_NO_THREADS env var set). You should initialize the orb using
something like:

orb = CORBA.ORB_init( [], CORBA.ORB_ID, CORBA.TRUE )

(the third parameter says you want to use the gtk mainloop.

Then just substitute the orb.run() call for gtk.mainloop(). It should
work.

Take care,
