dbus_shutdown call

[Naveen Verma]

As per my understanding, dbus re-use the share connection. So if you do
dbus_bus_get(). Then it checks for any existing free connection with the
given bus, if it available then it allocate it for application, if no free
connection available then it create a new connection and keep its record to
reuse it. Thats why we can't close the shared connection, if we try to do so
, dbus gives a runtime error.

But a private connection is dedicated to calling application and should be
close by application at the end.

Not sure but in my understanding this rule is followed more strictly in the
case of system bus because the shared connections are system wide and can be
shared between different sessions. While in the case of session bus the
shared connections are limited to only particular session.
