Apps using sailfish-qml were considered to be one and the same app. Launching fi…rst goes fine but the second then notices that the app name is already locked, i.e. running, and tried to ask lipstick to raise its window. I don't think this should have ever been working properly. Not entirely ideal, didn't bother much with cgroups and the window raising side. Those shouldn't be getting used much anyway. Latter maybe if starting an app from the command line with invoker. Some more details on commits. Some cleanups while at it. And renamed that confusingly named lipstick dbus method: https://github.com/sailfishos/lipstick/pull/79 . Leaving out the last commit allows to run without changes elsewhere. Need to just restart booster-generic service.

I’m thinking this has probably never worked properly.
