Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2011-04-17 02:20:31 UTC 
It might still be useful to have non-unique apps on D-Bus.  Particularly since we're discussing the possibility of driving their menus through a D-Bus interface.

The idea is that it would be nice to access them using their unique name.

GApplication: put non-unique apps on D-Bus

Some open questions:

 - should we emit the "Hello" signal for non-unique apps?  I lean towards yes.

 - the test case currently fails since it tries to register multiple objects
   at the same path in the same process.  This probably does not reflect
   realistic use (but maybe it does.....).

 - if we fix bug 647987 first then this patch may need a minor tweak.

For a number of reasons it might be useful to register the object paths
associated with a non-unique application so that the application can at
least field requests to its unique D-Bus name.
