You don't need to ask dbus for this (and even if you could, it would
seem to be unsafe). Since it's you creating the pending call in the
first place, you can put it in your own data structure and use that
for your cancel operation. Also, you shouldn't think in terms of
"cancel this pending call", but in terms of "cancel download number
7". You are mixing app level vs. dbus level concepts here.
