This is trivial, you know the address of the connection which caused the
object to exist, so have a hash of bus addresses to list of objects.
Then listen for NameOwnerChanged signals where the old name is the name
you are looking for and the new name is "", look up that name in the
hash, and destroy all of the objects.
