I have bonobo-activation-server running in processes... What is it?

What is "bonobo-activation-server" exactly?

That man page might be a little confusing. It's basically a part of GNOME that runs all the time. Specifically it starts up Bonobo stuff used by your applications.
Now what is Bonobo you ask? According to the wiki article loafer links to, it "is a component model for creating reusable software components and compound documents." And there is an example of its use, "Bonobo can, for instance, be used to embed an HTML component to show some text or an SVG component to display statistics taken from a database." From a more technical point of view, Bonobo is a monkey.
