   * ACE_TkReactor one by calling TAO_ORB_Core::set_gui_resource_factory.
   * User should create an instance of this class before ORB_init
   * when the TAO server has has to be integrated within Tk event loop.
   *
   * Please notice, this class has to be created in the main Tk thread,
   * because set_gui_resource_factory creates a variable in TSS. This way
   * TkReactor is instantiated only in Tk event loop thread.
