Asking mostly out of curiosity, but do you have a link to a writeup /
thread on the problem, and / or suggested replacements? I noticed
before that you were skeptical of dbus on Windows over at kate, but
since it essentially seemed to work for us in RKWard (for the very
limited use-case of reusing a running instance), I never bothered to
follow suit.

Now I see how you replaced dbus for that use-case in kate, and I guess
that'll be easy enough to copy. But if dbus is something to avoid
(where possible) in the interest of present and future cross-platform
compatibility, some generic guidance might be helpful.
