Thanks for the patch.

However I’m curious as to whether making the bonobo-activation-server
binary “m-a: same” works in the case of having both 32-bit and 64-bit
binaries using it.

The CORBA protocol is architecture-independent, however the activation
server will enable servers depending on the architecture the first
activation server is started with.

This is the reason why until now this hasn’t been done. If you have
conclusive tests indicating this actually works, that would be very
interesting.

Cheers,
