We have lots of applications that do that without having to be launched by dbus: plasmashell, krunner, yakuake, etc. It's done by using KDBusService. I didn't know about this, so did perhaps @davidedmundson in https://phabricator.kde.org/D19153#417025 I guess spectacle should use `KDBusService(KDBusService::Unique` but it has always been in multiple instance since it was Dbus enabled 09cd11881d828da35c46c48da79f2d988e6a78cc <https://phabricator.kde.org/R166:09cd11881d828da35c46c48da79f2d988e6a78cc> and this require some refactoring unfortunately.
