Accessing dbus (KDE Application)

[Jean-Baptiste Mardelle]

Hi all,

Working on a snap package for Kdenlive (video editing app based on KDE 
frameworks), i encounter one problem with restrictions of the "strict" 
mode. 

My snap package runs fine when using devmode, but crashes on startup when 
using the strict mode with the following message:
"Couldn't register name 'org.kde.kdenlive-17772' with DBUS - another 
process owns it already!"

Kdenlive (and many KDE Applications) create a DBUS entry on startup: 
org.kde.appName-$PID

In our case, we use dbus to inform the main application of the progress of 
video rendering tasks, which are performed by a command line application.

Is there anything I can do to allow my application to register and access 
its dbus service ?

Thanks,
