...and bonobo only knows about components when they're installed in
$prefix/lib/bonobo/servers.  However you don't need to recompile gnome
to be able to tweak things.

Menus are actually built based on the files
in /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/, bonobo paths are defined
in /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml, gconf paths
in /etc/gconf/2/path, etc...

There's also a bunch of environment variable one can try, but as I don't
use that approach myself I can't comment on them.  I'm sure they're all
nicely documented somewhere, though ;)
