using DBUS_BUS_STARTER and DBUS_BUS_SESSION in the same process

You run into problems if you use DBUS_BUS_STARTER in one place in a
process, and DBUS_BUS_SESSION later on in the same process. dbus_bus_get
ends up getting the same DBusConnection instance, but when you call it
with the different bus type, it tries to dbus_bus_register on the
already existing bus connection even though it was already registered
under the other type, with an annoying warning as a consequence. I get
this in the Python bindings even now I'm caching instances of each bus
type, and someone on #dbus was running into it working with Evince's
single instance support. Would it be possible to fix this so that it
stores the bus under both the starter and the "real" name, and doesn't
try and double register it?
