Needs to have the location of the .server files.

e.g. i install into /opt/gnome2, and i use:

BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH=/opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo/servers

And yeah i setup a few things in a file too (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the
other important one).

You may have to try using strace to see why things are failing (but that
can be painful, it spits out so much crap and it can be hard to know
what to filter out).

It needs some of it.  GNOME is a development environment, and it also
includes a desktop, and some applications.  So if you're not running
nautilus ('the desktop'), it shouldn't matter.

Having just rebuilt evo, "i feel your pain".  I think my neighbours
might be getting used to the foul language eminating from my house by
now, at all hours of the day and night ...
