Running : 
activation-client -s "repo_ids.has( 'IDL:Accessibility/Registry:1.0')"

I get the following output 

Query spec is "repo_ids.has( 'IDL:Accessibility/Registry:1.0')"
Activation ID 
"OAFAID:[OAFIID:Accessibility_Registry:proto0.1,ld77043,cdelab13.Ireland.Sun.COM
,session]" RESULT_OBJECT
IOR:01f7ffbf1f00000049444c3a4163636573736962696c6974792f52656769737472793a312e30

But the registryd program itself isnt activated, i.e ps -ef shows no registryd
running.
The code for activation-client, in client.c calls 
Bonobo_ActivationContext_activate which i would have thought would have
started up registryd server.
