Could you tell me a test environment where auto-starting the daemon is
reproducible? Then I might take a look at trying to avoid it.
As pointed out above, with Openbox the daemon is not started automatically
when starting Audacious. I'm stuck there. The puzzle is incomplete.

The implementation of the plugin looks dubious in the bottom half of
gnome_remote_init() -- I dunno why it does the 2nd dbus_g_proxy_call --
 https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins/blob/master/src/gnomeshortcuts/gnomeshortcuts.c
but other than that the only thing I could think of is dbus system
activation as there's nothing else that would start the daemon automatically.


$ ps ax|grep dbus
