BUGS
On startup Flush finds already running instances via DBus session bus.
Therefore it is necessary to run Flush in a single session bus (usual
in X session bus) to prevent running several instances with one configuration path.
Please notice that when you are running Flush from console or by cron,
when DISPLAY environment variable is not available, Flush finds already
running GUI instance without problems via ${config_path}/dbus_session
link, which all GUI instances are creating when they have owned DBus
name. This makes it possible to control running Flush GUI instances
from cron.
