 From time to time, in my XO I look at the activity registry to see what
 version of an activity the system thinks it is using.  And sometimes that
 fails - showing me instead a dbus error.

 The most recent of these was because Sugar had not come up.  I was
 mystified by the error message "Autolaunch error: X11 initialization
 failed".  What on earth does X11 initialization have to do with whether a
 script can read the content of the activity registry ?

 [By the way, I remember earlier failures to read the activity registry
 showing me symptoms like those described in #6812 ]
