NAME
       bonobo-activation-server - GNOME component tracker

DESCRIPTION
       This application tracks information about installed components and bro-
       kers components, in conjunction with  its  client  library;  libbonobo-
       activation.

       It        reads       the       component       descriptions       from
       /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/*.server.  These  files  provide  an  XML
       description  of  a  components  capabilities  which  can be queried and
       manipulated by clients from the client library.

       Bonobo-activation-server also ensures that the minimum neccessary  num-
       ber of servers for your display setup are running.

       Bonobo-activation-server  executes  all components with the environment
       inherited from the first process to start the server.  In  addition  to
       using  your  prefix, it will examine the BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH and the
       GNOME2_PATH environment variables to find .server files.

       In addition it examines an XML configuration file in  /etc/bonobo-acti-
       vation/bonobo-activation-config.xml
