Comment:

 The files that have top-level code besides assigning to constants are:

 datastore/dbus_helpers.py - creates a dbus proxy, fixed with attached
 patch
 profile.py - creates a Profile object
 presence/presenceservice.py - calls logging.getLogger()
 graphics/style.py - compute_zoom_level() etc
 graphics/palette.py - creates a PaletteObserver

 Of the 4 besides dbus_helpers.py, style.py needs to be doing the things it
 does so that it can define its constants. And none of the other seems to
 be doing so much that it's really going to slow things down. So I think
 it's just dbus_helpers.py that needs fixing.
