this is an assertion crash here:

        connection = dbus_create_service_instance (DBUS_NAME);
        if (connection == NULL)
        {
                g_error ("Could not register instance");
        }

usually meaning that there is another instance already running. We could exit cleanly here, or wait a while retrying to RequestName before giving up.

Do not use the alsdorf code anymore. The latest version of the code is
in the public notify-osd version. If an automatic upgrade did not
triggered the change, then please manually remove 'alsdorf' and install
'notify-osd' instead. Thanks
