Subject: [PATCH] bus: Exit ibus-daemon with parent's death

ibus-daemon can be restarted unexpectedly during logging out the session
and double ibus-x11 prevent from enabling XIM in XGetSelectionOwner()
for the "ibus" atom.
ibus-daemon always will exit the process when the parent process dies
to avoid this problem.

+        * XIOError and GTK does not allow to bind XError by applications and
+        * GTK calls gdk_x_error() with XError.
+        *
