Hmh, I do not agree. When developer creates new dbus clients, a 
monitoring tool will help very much to have a look under the hood.

In this list it was announced, that the bindings. probably the glib 
binding too, will be separated from the core. Unfortunally dbus-monitor 
depends on the glib binding, which means, that either dbus-monitor has 
to be moved into the glib binding or dbus-monitor get's a dbus based 
main loop.
