I'm not sure that dbus is actually necessary for this - i think the sequencer API has its own way of announcing new clients (and the departure of existing ones) - but I have not investigated it enough to come to a conclusion.

matter of manpower, but OTOH this situation with the backend
failing to do 'the right thing' has existed for quite some
