Except that this is not the dbus name of your activity. Otherwise you  
could not have two instances running at the same time, the bundle_id  
is the same for all instances.

The dbus service name actually looks like
org.laptop.Activity6f7f3acacca87886332f50bdd522d805f0abbf1f
where 6f7f3acacca87886332f50bdd522d805f0abbf1f is the activity_id as  
passed on the command line. See
