If you inspect the session bus with D-Feet, there seem to be several
applications with more than one unique name. Firefox requests four
unique names (I run Ubuntu 12.04, Firefox 15). The same happens to
Chromium (version 18). D-Feet itself occupies 3 unique names.

I don't know whether this is a problem for those applications, 'though.

I believe forking shall be avoided, as much as possible.
