My application is called abakus, the xml file is
horde/abakus/config/conf.xml
Other applications do not use their name in conf.xml so I don't either

I did create file horde/config/registry.d/abakus.php with content

<?php

$this->applications['abakus'] = array('name' => _("Abakus")

);


Is there more to it?

I do. Here is the api.php file I use for testing:

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/lib/Application.php';
Horde_Registry::appInit('abakus');
$page_output->header(array('title' => _("Nag API Test")));

echo "<h3>Testing Nag API</h3>";
echo "<pre>\n";

echo "dossierstorage driver is " .
$GLOBALS['conf']['dossierstorage']['driver'] . "\n";

$nag = new Nag_Api();
$tasks = $nag->listTasks();
print_r($tasks);

echo "</pre>\n";
$page_output->footer();

exit;

I see. In api.php:
* if I do an Horde_Registry::appInit('abakus'); the calling page (api.php)
sees the abakus configuration but nag is unhappy
* if I do an Horde_Registry::appInit('nag'); nag is happy but the calling
page sees no abakus configuration
* if I do both, whichever statement comes fist gets precedence.

So, as you said, only one app is active at a time and an inactive app's
configuration is not accessible.

It surprises me that I need to appInit('nag') to use its API though.
How do I work with my own application then?
