You got hacked by Orbit Bubble Gum? No, bad joke, bad bad joke, but it's 
perfectly normal and if you think it's not, please use wireshark to 
monitor your packets (as this is the only way to know if an application 
is actually using orbit maliciously.) Orbit is commonly used in cross 
app communications, EXP: GUI -> GTK.
