Another option is to just merge the activateRequested() and 
applicationStarted(QStringList) signals into a single 
activateRequested(QStringList) signal that is passed an empty list if it is 
triggered by the D-Bus Activate call.

This still leaves the fact that it will have to deal with the command-line 
equivalents of the Open and ActivateAction D-Bus calls, so I feel it is a 
conceptually inferior option, even if it typically allows slightly less 
application code.
