I dug around the dbus-python API and here's what I found for this:

With the SessionBus instance called session_bus: calling
session_bus.get_object raises a DBusException if the object name does
not correspond to an existing application object.

So, for detection, we could call get_object for both tomboy and gnote,
verify if they raise an exception and base our guess on this.
Does anyone know enough about dbus to confirm that doing this is a sane
thing way to use get_note?
