I think this really depends what the application is doing with D-Bus. If it's using \
D-Bus solely to send a desktop notification, it probably doesn't require all that \
much care to cope with disconnection, and users would probably rather just the \
notification was lacking, instead of the entire application dying (especially if they \
had some unsaved work in that application). I appreciate that a hard crash is easier \
to debug, though.

Best wishes,
Thomas
