dbus is supposed to be using dnotify to notice the change... apparently
it isn't working, or at least there's a race where it doesn't notice in
time for avahi to start up.

You could send -HUP manually, or you could debug the dnotify stuff...

I don't know how to avoid the race though if you start avahi in the rpm
post install... some kind of "block until dbus reloads config" feature I
guess but hard to figure how that works.
