NAME
     bonobo-activation-server - GNOME component tracker

DESCRIPTION
     This application tracks  information  about  installed  com-
     ponents  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  nec-
     cessary  number  of  servers for your display setup are run-
     ning.

     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  BONOBOACTIVATIONPATH  and the GNOME2PATH environment
     variables to find .server files.

     In  addition  it  examines  an  XML  configuration  file  in
     ${prefix}/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml
