  Problem is that the name, even when the pid would be unique, won't be predictable. You still need to change it to something like org.kde.appName.pid so you can use org.kde.appName.* in flatpak manifest. Problem is that you need to allow to own those dbus services and because of that the first instance won't let the other instance to register itself.
