What that means is very simple:
  - the dbus daemon is guaranteed to exist for the life of the session 
and not longer, so your app can also exist for the life of the session 
and not longer by simply exiting when it disconnects from the daemon 
(which libdbus does by default unless you say otherwise)
  - you can track the lifecycle of any other app on the session bus by 
listening for NameOwnerChanged signals
  - other apps can be autostarted by name if they have installed a 
.service file
