Technically speaking, it is a deadlock, since the thread is waiting for an 
unlock that will never happen.

But that's beside the point.

From your backtrace:

This seems that the socket closed while trying to connect. Is there 
anything specific we can do to try and reproduce the problem?

QtDBus, as released, has a thread problem: it calls dbus_init_threads 
without recursive mutex functions, but at the same time says it has all 
functions (DBUS_THREAD_FUNCTIONS_ALL_MASK). In my development version, I 
have already corrected the issue, so I'd like to test your circumstances.
