stale IORs in lock directory ...

[Michael Meeks <michael ximian com>]

Hi there,

	Just looking at gconf HEAD, I have a couple of queries:

	firsty we do:

  daemon_lock = gconf_get_lock_or_current_holder (lock_dir,
                                                  &other_server,
                                                  &err);

	Then if other_server != CORBA_OBJECT_NIL we register it with oaf,
and then quit. Problem is - it's highly likely that other_server is a
valid stringified IOR, but actualy the object doesn't exist.

	It seems to me for efficiency reasons we need to do:

	if (CORBA_Object_non_existant (other_server)) ...

		continue.

	However - then we need to shove our IOR into the lock_dir, in
which case it seems to me ( and if other_server == CORBA_OBJECT_NIL -
although this will perhaps never happen ), that we need to take the lock
and continue starting up - or we'll never activate another daemon.

	Then again, perhaps I got confused;

	Thoughts ?

		Michael.
