Very nice to hear.

My mistake.  Michael said that the connection was used to provide
lifetime services as opposed to be related to authentication.  In Gnome
1.x we used a profile to encode a shared secret in the IIOP request to
get security working, am not sure how this works in the new version of
Gnome.
