k, here's a funky patch. 
Currently we assume that if we get DCOPClient back during registration 
it means it's unique and was registered by this particular instance of 
the kuniqueapplication. So the failure of newInstance call on a 
dcopclient we interpret as a crash in the application. What this patch 
does is that it tries to find objects on the registered client - if 
that fails then we can be sure the app really crashed if not then it 
means a part of that app is already registered. So we iterate over 
objects to find the mainwindow of the container - once we find it we 
restore it and raise it (in case it hasn't been hidden, but underneath 
something). This assures that when trying to start kuniqueapplication 
of the part the parent container is simply going to be raised. 
The little thing that still irritates me is that the startup 
notification is on for about a second longer then the window is raised 
and it obviously should go away as soon as it's risen.
