Hi, yesterday I forgot to mention the GNOME_Ghemical.server file, and also forgot to add it into CVS; now it's there as well. Before trying the procedure I explained yesterday, you should first copy the GNOME_Ghemical.server file into /usr/lib/bonobo/servers (or equivalent place where the other .server files are). Then you can try a command $ bonobo-activation-run-query true | grep Ghemical OAFIID:GNOME_Ghemical_ControlFactory OAFIID:GNOME_Ghemical_Control to check that you get above result. If the .server file is not properly installed, then ghemical-server will quit without waiting any requests. Also, it's not actually necessary to start ghemical-server anymore since it will be started automatically when requested, but starting it manually is better option for debugging purposes (gdb ./ghemical-server).
