G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE will be implicitly enabled.

* A #GApplication is the foundation of an application. It wraps some
* low-level platform-specific services and is intended to act as the
* foundation for higher-level application classes such as
* #GtkApplication or #MxApplication. In general, you should not use
* this class outside of a higher level framework.
*
* One of the core features that GApplication provides is process
* uniqueness, in the context of a "session". The session concept is
* platform-dependent, but corresponds roughly to a graphical desktop
* login. When your application is launched again, its arguments
* are passed through platform communication to the already running
* program. The already running instance of the program is called the
* <firstterm>primary instance</firstterm>. On Linux, the D-Bus session
* bus is used for communication.
*
* GApplication provides convenient life cycle management by maintaining
* a <firstterm>use count</firstterm> for the primary application instance.
* The use count can be changed using g_application_hold() and

* Before using GApplication, you must choose an "application identifier".
* The expected form of an application identifier is very close to that of

* Another feature that GApplication (optionally) provides is process
* uniqueness. Applications can make use of this functionality by
* providing a unique application ID. If given, only one application
* with this ID can be running at a time per session. The session
* concept is platform-dependent, but corresponds roughly to a graphical
* desktop login. When your application is launched again, its
