Public bug reported:

It appears there is a race condition when setting the active source, at
startup. We need to do this in the U1MS extension, when a u1ms:// link
is passed into banshee. If banshee is already running, this doesn't seem
to be an issue, as things are relatively idle. However, at startup,
there is a lot more activity happening, and active source notification
seems to race with the main loop, sometimes failing, causing the source
switch to not happen, or causing the source to switch, but leaving the
selected source in the source tree list on the sidebar, to be incorrect.
