Looks reasonable to me.  No reason for the backend process to continue
running if it loses its bus name.

Haven't encountered that myself -- I'm still on Fedora 14 with E-D-S
2.32, so I always run the 3.0 or 3.1 backend processes manually.  But I
can see how that would be confusing when debugging the same version as
the system package.
