I've notice some strange behaviors when using a predefined ThreadID like 
"RemoteOffice-ThreadID", on a first request, everything is fine, but 
some objects OIDs seems to be persistant event after the socket 
deconnexion. I guess when they are cleared ?! So I use a unique one now.

well, I'm not sure how Office is done, but from the tests I've made :
- with XInitialize the server do not send any request
- with an XInputStream the server request some interfaces like 
XSeekable, XCloseable,  call some methods (seek, readsomeBytes...) but 
this is done on an other thread, and then the XComponent OIDs is send on 
the main ThreadID.
