When dbus is restarted (service dbus restart) or during update, lightdm crashes
(or just terminate?) and leave desktop in unresponsive state.

If PC have PS/2 keyboard, it works, but USB keyboard does not and user can not
longer even restart lightdm from local machine.

Steps to reproduce:

service dbus restart

Expected behavior:

Reconnect to dbus

Actual behavior:

crash

Well, lightdm is not the only thing behaving badly when dbus is
restarted. Don't do that, really, that'll mess up your system… Even
updates don't restart the bus, actually.
