Hello.

I stumbled upon a problem with my KDE Plasma/I3 setup, when I tried to log into a session using the original X11 enviroment after installing i3-pager. This caused the whole login procedure to crash, which was a bit of a problem. I figured out that the problem laid in i3ipcpp and not this plugin. I made a fix for it and made a pull request to i3ipcpp.

This fix results in some other problems in the i3-pager plasmoid though. As the fix got everything running as it should, multiple calls to open files started to be made even though all calls failed (as I was using the wrong window manager). This eventually resulted in no more file calls to be accepted from any plasma process, crashing the whole desktop enviroment.

I fixed this by making the plasmoid stop if it didn't succeed with the calls. I have tested it in both window managers and it doesn't seem to break anything.

I would appreciate if you would like to consider my pull request. Thanks in advance.
