There's only one socket for each bus the app connects to, unless you use 
open_private() to force a new socket. The connection names are just 
aliases for the same connection. (each DBusConnection is one socket)

By default, clients will authenticate using unix domain socket 
credentials which will send the pid.

DBusCredentials is an internal API however. There's a public method on 
DBusConnection to get the process id I believe.
