You installed the applet’s .server file, which tells GNOME about the applet, to a directory that isn’t being checked. The .server file gets installed to $PREFIX/lib/bonobo/servers, where $PREFIX equals whatever directory you specified as –prefix at compile time (default: /usr/local). The easiest way to fix this is to add the directory the .server file is to add it to the list of directories that get checked. Edit /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml (or wherever Bonobo keeps its activation configuration on your system) and add this line: $PREFIX/lib/bonobo/servers between and , replacing $PREFIX with the appropriate directory. For example, with the default prefix, you would say: /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers Then log out and log back into GNOME to make sure the directory gets re-scanned. And if logging out and back in still doesn’t work, as a last resort you can try rebooting.
