If I set up filter functions to look at incoming messages, and send
outgoing messages using dbus_connection_send() from separate threads
of my application, will this main loop work (in a dedicated thread of
its own):
while(dbus_connection_read_write_dispatch(connection, -1))
     //empty loop body
    ;

(i took this idea from the wonderful documentations inside dbus-connection.c) ?

Thank you!
