Package: liferea
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: normal

liferea's startup-script (/usr/bin/liferea) ends with the following lines:

  echo 'Neither Mozilla nor Firefox is available...'
  eval `dbus-launch`
  export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
  exec "$dist_bin/liferea-bin" $params

This means that a new dbus-daemon is launched when liferea starts. This
happens even if liferea starts at session startup. This means there is a
session dbus-daemon, and a dbus-daemon for liferea, and any programs
launched by liferea.

This results in the following sequence of events when liferea is used
together with epiphany:

  - Ensure liferea is running, and epiphany is not.
  - Launch epiphany from the Applications menu.
  - Load an URL in epiphany.
  - Click on a link in liferea.
  - A dialog appears asking whether to restore a crashed session of
    epiphany.

Possibly, bug #356718 is also caused by this. That bug would not occur when
trying to subscribe from an epiphany windows opened by liferea.

/usr/bin/liferea should check if DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set before
calling dbus-launch.
