I'm sorry I don't have much information for you: the (perceived)
problem never happened with a sufficent combination of regularity and
irritativeness for me to try to file a useful bug report.

I don't believe I can reproduce it, but I don't think I've been
totally imagining the problem: I've certainly seem rainbow not running
after restarting X, since I was puzzled by activities not launching
until I noticed the errors in the logs about not being able to find a
rainbow dbus service.  I would've been restarting X a lot to test the
speaker icon changes, and I was running joyride, both of which are
quite rare for a normal user to do (but as I'm on a
not-enough-for-a-ticket bender, it's terribly annoying to have tty1
logged out if one has issued init 5 from it and then quits X, but
running screen from .bashrc with autologin kind of reduces things to a
minor annoyance of hitting Ctrl-Alt-1 <RET>, and I doubt kids will
often be bothered by this behavior).

If I see it again I will try to gather some logs (though
/var/log/rainbow seems ominously empty on my joyride).
