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
