Coooool.  How is this going to be done?  Are we going to replace 
'KApplication' with 'KomApplication' (or something similar) and, thus,
make ALL KDE apps 'CORBA ready' automagically?  Or will it be a more
arduous upgrade path.

I'm especially curious because I've been investigating 'CORBAsizing'
kbiff and I'm wondering now if it would be worth it just to wait until
the base libs have CORBA enabled.

I guess what I'm asking is: What effect will this have on existing (non-
CORBAsized) apps.

Specifically, will KOM be the base object technology?  Or will generic
'CORBA' be the base and KOM be an optional upgrade?

How does one get on this "Team"?
