This might not be duplicate. I noticed that gwibber-service startup has
a huge race issue in the code that tries to prevent starting duplicate
services.
Basic issue in gwibber-serice code is:
1. Check if dbus service is registered.
2. Do some initialization stuff
3. Register dbus service.
This race allows gwibber-service to start multiple instances that would
result to gwibber-service reporting same remote service multiple times.
I'm not dbus expert but I remember dbus providing feature to start
gwibber-service like service automatically on first client requesting
the service. I suppose that could eliminate the race in startup making
it easily possible quarentee single gwibber-service instance per user
login.
