The MOF spec makes my head ache.  The Reflective module implementation
looks like it could be, er, interesting.  Suspect I'll have to use the
CORBA DSI or IR.

It's not only the network transparency that makes CORBA attractive to me
(in fact the distributed garbage collection is a complete pain);
it's the language transparency.  You should be able to use the
freeCASE repository from any language with a CORBA binding.

Still don't see how Qt/Gtk fit in here.
