Dunno if this class is using QDBusConnection::sessionBus(), but if it is then the \
disconnect is supposed to be automatic according to the sessionBus() API \
documentation. If indeed the disconnection is not occurring, then that might possibly \
explain the weird dbus related crashes reported in bug# 234484 as well. I hope that \
is not the case because I do not remember seeing anywhere where disconnectFromBus is \
called explicitly.

KStatusNotifierItemDBus::~KStatusNotifierItemDBus(). right now this is the \

m_dbus.unregisterService(m_service);

and perhaps it should include:

m_dbus.unregisterObject(&quot;/StatusNotifierItem&quot;, this);

and perhaps even:

m_dbus.disconnectFromBus(m_service);

maybe not though...)</pre>  </blockquote>
