Here is a snippet from the ZopeStudio product, which munges the top-level
application object (actually, its *class*) to add the RDF stuff that the Mozilla
front end uses::

 # Shove the above method in the Application class
 OFS.Application.Application.zsTreeRoot = zsTreeRoot

You should be able to do the same::

 OFS.Application.Application.theORB = CORBA.orb_init( sys.argv ) # or whatever
