I'm used to hacked code, but less to well programmed code like in
C++ and CORBA :)

Unfortunately, being a non-object oriented programmer at all, I doubt
this will be a task for me :( Of course I could learn but I have few things
to finish in C before such a big campain.

I'd really love it though for a smooth migration of X apps...
