It's fine for dbus-connection.c / dbus-bus.c (basically it should only 
be used by the "owner" of a shared connection). close_shared might be a 
better name, indeed - it could even have an assert(connection->shared) 
in it. Though... does that "shared" flag mean shared in the sense of 
dbus-connection.c or shared in the sense of dbus-bus.c or both?

Come to think of it if dbus-bus.c does a connection_open() instead of 
open_private() then some connections could be "owned" by both bus.c and 
connection.c - did you already handle that case? I'm too lazy to look at 
the patch again ;-)
