The SDK must not be creating the GApplication object with a well-known
name.  So yes, I think that it makes sense to look at post-13.10 for
this.

Title:
  GLib Application Registers a DBus name under application confinement

Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Under application confinement applications won't be allowed to
  register names on DBus.  GApplication returns an error if it can't do
  that which makes programs unhappy.  Instead they should just believe
  they are the primary app instance if they're running under isolation.
