Hi Ronald,
Firstly - thanks for looking into this.

Ok.

Ok - this is quite likely just down to a race condition in who gets
timesliced first, and thus who connects to wherever when - presumably.

Ok - this is really down to the order in which what process
communicates with what other process - so ... it's rather hard to tell
whether that's meaningful really.

Yes - but you realise that the ORB has no interest in putting the UI on
the screen; and as such it's 'client/server' distinction is just a
matter of who is listening for connections and who is not; ie a server
has many clients, a client has a single server. [ although a process
clearly has ~1 Unix socket server, and multiple clients to other
processes ].
HTH & keep digging,
Thanks,
Michael.
