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
