This happens whether or not ui was brought up. While the zombie process runs, moonshot ui cannot be made visible.
In the example below, no ui was brought up since there was already an identity associated to the service.

So, leaving the process around is in of itself a bug.
However, the big issues here are
1) Once you have sent send once, you cannot ever see the UI again even
if there is another authentication to take place
2) running moonshot by hand or from desktop menus will not allow you to
go in and manage identities.
Fixing 2 probably requires either a new dbus message or that when there
are no outstanding authentication requests and send is pressed the
process exit.
