dbus cleanup question

[Macartney, Geoff]

I've tried things out with a small test program, just calling
dbus_bus_get once, and I still get the same result. I'll grab a more
up-to-date dbus and see how it goes with that, and if there's no
improvement, I'll mail the test program to the list.

Cheers
Geoff

It's fine to call it twice, but then you own two references that you
have to drop before you shutdown, instead of one reference.
