Why don't Thiago's patches preserve behavior compatibility by starting/enabling 
the dbus thread only when reaching the event loop?

Otherwise it sounds like any case of "talking to an application that is 
starting" will create races (am I making the call before or after the object 
has been published?). Not just KUniqueApplication, but any other dbus call to a 
starting app, including the dbus activation case.
