Bug Description

if you "close" skype windows, BAMF thinks that skype isn't running, or should i rather say Unity Launcher doesn't pick up that skype is running cause the windows are closed .. therefore whenever you click the launcher it runs skype-wrapper again. This is all good and all. but previously skype-wrapper would pick up that skype was already running and then just focus the client and than exit (thus ensuring only one skype-wrapper open)

the way i see it is line 63 skype-wrapper.py and 156 in indicator-applet-skype.py have functions that check if skype is running. You're cleverly checking if the dbus is set, but if it hasn't it thinks skype-wrapper isn't running?

you have 2 options ..

1. Dbus Server must run: if the dbus server could not be set then segfault skype-wrapper cause you depend on it?
2. Don't depend on the dbus server running and then use the legacy version of that function which just checks if the process named skype-wrapper was running
