When handling a DBusWatch, you just call dbus_watch_handle(). You 
shouldn't call the dispatch function just because you received activity on 
the socket.

If the Watch handling found that it needed dispatch, the DBusConnection 
object will make a callback indicating that the dispatch status changed, 
so your mainloop integration should call dispatch(). But this is not the 
case here, since you don't have a DBusConnection.

In the case of a DBusServer, there will be another callback, which 
indicates that a new connection has been accepted.
