<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">There were three possible bugs:
CheckIsAlreadyRunning tried to register a service and check if it worked.
This could clash with another process checking at the same time. Causing them both to fail saying another is running
Similarly, a daemon doing actual registering could clash with another daemon just checking if the name is free, and then it would fail saying we can't init()</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">There was also a risk that two launchers pass the check that nothing is running, then both try to activate a session. DBus server handles this fine and one will gracefully fail. Without this patch the second launcher would just die without returning the path of the service that was activated causing the relevant app to do nothing.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">--</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">IMHO, you'd be better off having a fixed service name and using DBus activation for exactly these reasons.
You could put the different backends at different object paths, and have a method on the root object that says which object path to use rather than using the stdout of a launcher. That's a discussion for another day though.</p></pre>
