Yes. Though I think GetConnectionUnixProcessID should just return an 
error for this, just as it would for a TCP connection or other 
connection with unknown PID. It could return the PID of the bus, but 
that is probably pointless - dbus_connection_get_unix_process_id() is a 
better way to get that, avoiding a round trip. And any reason I can 
think of to know the remote pid probably would not want to include the 
bus daemon. Another way to think of it is that 
GetConnectionUnixProcessID could be defined to get the PID of a process 
connected to the bus daemon (and the bus daemon is not connected to itself).
