Bug Description

Race condition in gwibber-service startup makes dbus to startup multiple instances of the service. It is clear that gwibber-service doesn't handle well multiple simultanous instances doing same thing.

Eg bug would be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/606594

I made quick on top of 3.0.0.1 because that happens to me gwibber version currently. I tried to compile the latet 3.6 version from bzr repository but there was missing dependencies. I will attach my current quickly tested 3.0 fix here now. But I don't have time to do the forward porting just yet. If anyone beats me to the forward porting you are free to modify the patch and submit it for inculsion.
