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
