That wasn't a suggestion. It's a question from a CORBA newbie.

Yes, it's the server instance that's important. I'll try to rephrase it
more clearly:

Is it possible to get a 2nd stub for the same server instance? For
instance, can I have 2 BonoboWindow*s which can be used to manipulate
the same actual visible Bonobo window (forgive me if my capitalization
is wrong)?

If so, is it possible to get the 2nd stub from the 1st stub, or is this
only possible when a get_something() method happens to return references
to the same server object?
