Comment 4 for bug 765794

I found that the bonobo configuration files for the applets weren't being loaded (hence they weren't available in the add-to-panel dialogue).

I edited bonobo-activation-config.xml to look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<oafconfig>
    <searchpath>
        <item>/usr/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
        <item>/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers</item>
    </searchpath>
</oafconfig>

And everything but the clock works again. That's another issue for another day.

But why is a better question. I have a whole load of config files that appear to have moved to dbus in brand-new installations. Why didn't my upgrade port these applets to the new system?
