I've got a local fix in Amarok's App destructor:


#ifdef Q_WS_WIN
     // work around for KUniqueApplication being not completely 
implemented on windows
     QDBusConnectionInterface* dbusService;
     if (QDBusConnection::sessionBus().isConnected() && (dbusService = 
QDBusConnection::sessionBus().interface()))
         dbusService->unregisterService("org.kde.amarok");
#endif

We really need a fix in kdelibs, but this is more a work-around than a 
real fix I think so I'm not sure if it's the best way of going about it.
