In order to get DBus to autostart MC5, you prod it on org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl5. However, this should not appear on MC startup before o.fd.T.ChannelDispatcher and o.fd.T.AccountManager are already ready for use.
If this is fixed/changed, be aware that the activation setup will need to change (see commit ad4b94ec and Bug #53220).
Also, we really do need to take *a* name early in initialization, as a mutex that will protect our account migration process from other copies of MC running in parallel. If we don't take the "main" name until later, then that name can't be our mutex.
