	Ok - you should be using libbonobo - and bonobo-activation, rather than
OAF. You should add the path to BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH; and you need to
force b-a-s to re-start with that environment variable set; thus try
killall -9 bonobo-activation-server [this will have some peripheral
nasty side-effects on the desktop]. Better, if you've got Gnome 2.3.X
you can do: activation-client --add-path=/tmp/foo - to add a path to a
running b-a-s instance.

	HTH,

		Michael.
