The intent of the API is that both flags could be on one watch, but
right now libdbus only ever sets up the two separate watches. The
downside of both flags on one watch would be that read/write would have
to be enabled/disabled together. So I imagine even a future kind of
DBusConnection transport would probably need two different watches.
