Comment(by rwh):

 Ah, of course. But can't we do a gobject.child_watch_add(pid) in Rainbow,
 and then inform the shell that the process has ended by calling something
 like Shell.NotifyProcessFinished? If the shell has not found a window by
 then, the activity failed to launch, right? (except for cases where the
 process spawns a subprocesses in the background, so maybe we still need a
 timeout anyway).

 For now we can add a timeout that triggers a launch_timedout() call
 automatically after about a minute. Does that time sound right?
