Can we prevent the font dialogs from popping up? They are a frustrating interruption, and they don't really make sense either (nobody will know what gjs-console is).

Currently, gnome-packagekit provides this functionality, and it has a setting that lists binaries to ignore requests from:

    <key name="ignored-dbus-requests" type="s">
      <default>'/usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server,/usr/bin/nm-applet,/usr/bin/xchat-gnome'</default>
      <summary>Programs that should be ignored when they issue session D-Bus requests</summary>
      <description>Programs that should be ignored when they issue session D-Bus requests, separated by commas.</description>
    </key>

We're just moving this functionality to gnome-software, and the gtk module that gnome-packagekit currently installs will be going away. We'll probably replace it by a gtk+ api for apps to opt in to this functionality.
