should request_name org.freedesktop.DBus fail?

[John (J5) Palmieri]

This looks like a bug since "org.freedesktop.DBus" is a special name
which does not go through the normal code paths.  Can you file this in
bugzilla?  I think once we get the next release out we will want to
start cleaning these up.  Right now I want to concentrate on getting the
API changes in.
