Is this good progamming style not to unregister resources, which are 
registered before and to expect that this unregistering is outside the 
app ?
In fact does this mean that creating and deleting a KUniqueApplication 
instance lets open a kind of "memory leak" in dbus, which should be 
fixed in KUniqueApplication and not in dbus.

This belongs to Kapplication too.
