An app I'm developing was crashing the entire UI a while ago in the way
you described. In my case I was using a hypen character in my DBUS
service name. Thinking about it now, it seems like a bug in the DBUS
service lookup code and I should report it!

My fix was just to remove the hyphen - thanks to whoever was on IRC that
pointed me in the right direction (it was a nightmare to track down).

Hope that sheds some light.

Mark
