Owner

With the GUI running, restart the service (systemctl restart aqomui -- a package upgrade or crash recovery does the same): the next GUI action pops "Error: aqomui-service is not available -- Do you want restart it or quit aqomui?" even though the service is up. Hitting Restart re-acquires it (plus a polkit prompt for the restart itself) and everything works.

Cause: the GUI resolves its D-Bus proxy for org.aqomui.service once at startup; a service restart changes the name owner and the stale proxy's first call fails, which the GUI misreads as "service not available".

Fix direction: watch NameOwnerChanged for the service name (or re-get_object and retry once on a failed call) and only show the dialog when the name really has no owner.

Observed 2026-08-19 while live-verifying #68, but unrelated to it -- any service restart under a running GUI reproduces this.
