The example startup script also adds an interface to Claws-Mail on the
session bus. So, any external program can trigger Claws Mail's menu
items by calling this interface.

If you don't want that, comment the last line in the startup script
(dbus_interface = add_dbus_interface()) by preceding it with #. If my
assumption is correct, your crash on plugin-unload should go away.

The correct fix would be to unregister the D-Bus service again in the
"shutdown" script, but I don't know enough Python D-Bus to do that.
