Can we use GMainloop at the libdbus based program?

Yes, and dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main() already does that.
Specifically, it runs all libdbus message processing from the
g_main_context_default() context: so for instance if you use
g_main_loop_new(NULL, ...) and then g_main_loop_run(), libdbus message
processing will occur inside that main loop.

If you can, I recommend using GDBus (part of GIO) instead of libdbus. It
is thread-safe (unlike dbus-glib), knows how to use non-default main
contexts (e.g. for threaded applications), and does not rely on the
deprecated and unmaintained dbus-glib library.
