        Incidentally; we seem to be -very- regularly getting build and
distribution errors that ruin our user experience in the betas at least
due to missing components / poor registration etc.

        I was wondering if it wouldn't be rather an excessively useful test to
have a small app as part of the smoketest (or elsewhere) that
systematically activates every registered service (perhaps by parsing
services.rdb or querying UNO ?).

        I guess we used to have that happening during registration - but now we
have passive registration I suspect that we're letting a lot of issues
here pass us by. At least my recollection was that that registration was
a rats nest of issues ;-)

        Or do we have something like this already ? Stephan ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
