NAME

       bonobo-activation-server - GNOME component tracker

DESCRIPTION

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

       It reads the component  descriptions  from  ${prefix}/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 number  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  ${prefix}/etc/bonobo-
       activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml
