It would return after orb->shutdown(...) causes the ORB to shut down.
Possibly there is no shutdown call in the examples (they are only examples
after all).
If calling shutdown from a method invocation, then you probably want '0' as
the argument (don't wait for shutdown) otherwise you'll get a deadlock.

As for deactivating objects, I suggest you read the CORBA spec or the C++
language binding. It's something like poa->deactivate_object(id).
