CORBA In Linux?

Many CORBA implementations are portable to the Linux platform.

The two common Linux desktops - GNOME and KDE - both come equipped with an ORB, and use it as the low-level of their application automation mechanism. KDE with its KOM and GNOME with its GNORBA/DOM/Bonobo.

For C programmers, GNOME's ORB, named ORBit, supports a C language mapping (only?). It was created because MICO (their formerly used ORB) generated quite bloated files and made compilations much slower.
