GApplication: add --gapplication-service switch

Desktop / GNOME / GLib - Ryan Lortie [desrt.ca] - 9 January 2014 15:15 UTC

Add a --gapplication-service switch to the default implementation of local_command_line. This name is unlikely to clash with any option used by an existing application.

When a normal application (neither service nor launcher) is launched with exactly this one argument, G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE will be set.

The idea is that people will write their D-Bus service file with--gapplication-service on the Exec line. This provides a nice compromise for people who want the benefits of DBusActivatable applications but without losing the ability to easily run them directly (under the debugger or inside jhbuild, etc.)
