kay and Daniel are working on changing the semantics of monitoring
entirely. Instead of turning monitoring on and off on an existing
connection they want this to be an entirely new connection type, the
same way as "starter" (i.e. those which may be used to take a well-known
name and get notified when the service behind it needs to be activated)
connections are different from normal connections

(Which would break compat wit traditional dbus I figure, but that should
be OK given that monitoring is a debugging feature anyway.)
