well, it doesn't really matter; the idea is that it's opaque to the
app what a watch is used for. I don't remember offhand why there are
two. Feel free to read the source ;-)

No, it's just whether to poll. For example, if there are no messages
to send in the outgoing queue, the poll for socket writability will be
disabled.

Maybe the write watch is enabled and when you handle it, dbus will
write out the message.

Have any messages arrived?
