If your looking for a working implementation that does this, you may
want to check out Avahi (http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/Avahi) we
have code that integrates dbus with a custom main loop adapter.

You may also want to note our custom dbus_bus_get_private function in
avahi-client, this is needed if you will have more than 1 connection in
the same process (this includes the same process using some other (e.g.
glib) integration)
