	Ok - so one way to detect whether you have been activated by
bonobo-activation-server, that is (hopefully) more immune to change; is
to use:

const char *bonobo_activation_iid_get ();

	Which will return non NULL if you were activated by
bonobo-activation-server.

	No problem, it makes more sense re-phrased in that way - you don't
really want to see if the panel is running at all in fact :-)

	Regards,
