The default GNOME 3.10 login process right now has gdm spawn a session
for the login screen, retaining the X server, but closing the session
bus. Right now in this scenario many GNOME components such as
gnome-settings-daemon attempt to "clean up" on shutdown by releasing
their owned names.
But they're shutting down because the session bus went away, so
releasing the name is pointless, and presently spews an error into the
journal.
This patch avoids that error spew, which helps system administrators
find *real* problems.
