I ran into this same problem when I moved from Python 2.2 to Python 
2.3.  I didn't look into it too deeply, so I could be wrong, but my 
guess is that Python 2.3 uses a "new style" class for threading.Thread, 
and the IDL-generated class uses an "old style" class.

My work-around was to either have either the thread or the CORBA class 
be a member of the other, and delegate methods as needed.
