So unfortunately, not a very good fix? 

I'm not very enthusiastic about changing this, because when the change
will arrive on users' desktops, the new binary could be launched along
the old one if it was running during the upgrade, and things could get
real messy...

So probably such a patch should check for a socket in the old place, and
if it doesn't exist use one in the new place.

Thanks for the patch, anyway.
