The one included in ion3, mod_statusbar.

Unfortunately I did enable it, so the easy case has already been ruled 
out. :-/

I'll follow that one out of curiousity, though - at least once it's 
reachable again.

TBH, I consider that part an upstream bug. If it cannot connect to the 
status bar for whatever reason, it should just open a regular 
application window.
The "depend on Gnome" part was a step ahead, as it still isn't working 
properly with some messages on the console that suggest something is 
still missing.
