This could be a valid solution for service always active, but for an
application that is connect to "system bus" and that for example do a
query for known Service active and exit, then however if i call
dbus_shutdown or no, when application die still internal dbus variables
are deallocated, so why not permit to call dbus_shutdown on system bus
if i'm sure that my application will be soon died?

Thank you very very much for your replies!
