Mhm.  Do we still have a nice name server where we could stick
components/filenames pairs?  This is important for the moniker
implementation.

Basically, we want to be able to locate the component that is
editing/handling/displaying a file: consider drag and drop and cut and
paste: the target process wants to reuse the current server, rather
than launch a new server.
