	TODO 
Log Message:
2006-10-01  Havoc Pennington  <hp at redhat.com>

	* dbus/dbus-connection.c (_dbus_connection_close_if_only_one_ref): 
	Add a hack to make DBusNewConnectionFunction work right.

	* dbus/dbus-server-socket.c (handle_new_client_fd_and_unlock): use
	the hack here. Also, fix the todo about refcount leak.
	
	* dbus/dbus-server-debug-pipe.c (_dbus_transport_debug_pipe_new):
	and use the hack here
	
        * dbus/dbus-connection.c: Kill the "shared" flag vs. the
	"shareable" flag; this was completely broken, since it meant 
	dbus_connection_open() returned a connection of unknown
	shared-ness. Now, we always hold a ref on anything opened 
	as shareable.

	Move the call to notify dbus-bus.c into
	connection_forget_shared_unlocked, so libdbus consistently forgets
	all its knowledge of a connection at once. This exposed numerous
	places where things were totally broken if we dropped a ref inside
	get_dispatch_status_unlocked where
	connection_forget_shared_unlocked was previously, so move
	connection_forget_shared_unlocked into
	_dbus_connection_update_dispatch_status_and_unlock. Also move the
	exit_on_disconnect here.

	(shared_connections_shutdown): this assumed weak refs to the
	shared connections; since we have strong refs now, the assertion 
	was failing and stuff was left in the hash. Fix it to close
	still-open shared connections.
	
	* bus/dispatch.c: fixup to use dbus_connection_open_private on the 
	debug pipe connections
	
	* dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_dispatch): only notify
	dbus-bus.c if the closed connection is in fact shared
	(_dbus_connection_close_possibly_shared): rename from 
	_dbus_connection_close_internal
	(dbus_connection_close, dbus_connection_open,
	dbus_connection_open_private): Improve docs to explain the deal
	with when you should close or unref or both

	* dbus/dbus-bus.c
	(_dbus_bus_notify_shared_connection_disconnected_unlocked): rename
	from _dbus_bus_check_connection_and_unref_unlocked and modify to
	loop over all connections

	* test/test-utils.c (test_connection_shutdown): don't try to close
	shared connections.

	* test/name-test/test-threads-init.c (main): fix warnings in here

	* dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c (_dbus_abort): support DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT
	env variable to cause blocking waiting for gdb; drop
	DBUS_PRINT_BACKTRACE and just call _dbus_print_backtrace() 
	unconditionally.

	* configure.in: add -export-dynamic to libtool flags if assertions enabled
	so _dbus_print_backtrace works.

	* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c (_dbus_print_backtrace): use fprintf
	instead of _dbus_verbose to print the backtrace, and diagnose lack 
	of -rdynamic/-export-dynamic

+ - _dbus_connection_unref_unlocked() is essentially always broken because
+   the connection finalizer calls non-unlocked functions. One fix is to make 
+   the finalizer run with the lock held, but since it calls out to the app that may 
+   be pretty broken. More likely all the uses of unref_unlocked are just wrong.

  - if the GUID is obtained only during authentication, not in the address,
