You can use multiple inheritance. (Except that with omniORBpy 2.x, you
can't use a new-style class for a servant class, so you might not be
able to. The restriction is lifted in omniORBpy 3.0, currently in beta.)

Having said that, I'd question the design of a program that uses a
single class for both a UI element and a CORBA servant. It suggests poor
separation between diverse parts of functionality. It would be more
normal to use separate classes for the UI parts and the CORBA parts.

Cheers,

Duncan.
