Bug 107024

Ever since ListActivatableNames() was added, it has included "org.freedesktop.DBus" as an activatable name:

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me: by calling ListActivatableNames() successfully, you've proved that o.fd.DBus exists, which means it's irrelevant whether it is activatable or not.

Does anyone know why it gets returned here? I think it would make sense in ListNames(), but not in ListActivatableNames().
