Using D-BUS with GLib and no dbus-daemon

[James Kent]

This sounds good.  I think adding dbus_g_connection_open() seems like
the right way to go, since it would work in a similar way to
dbus_g_bus_get().

There's one other place where the glib bindings were not complete and I
had to dip into the dbus/dbus.h API.  I had to call dbus_server_listen
to create the DBusServer, like this:

 	dbusServer = dbus_server_listen("unix:path=/tmp/a1b2c3",
&error);
  	dbus_server_setup_with_g_main(dbusServer,
g_main_loop_get_context(mainloop)); 

I think it would be to combine these two steps into a single call,
something like this:

	DBusServer* dbus_server_new_with_g_main(const char *address,
GMainContext *  context, DBusError *error)
