After some investigation of my own, it seems that calling
dbus_timeout_handle() can and will invoke the add/remove/toggle
callbacks and hence the DBusTimeout object may not be valid after
calling dbus_timeout_handle(). In my case the remove callback was the
last call.

Perhaps this could be made clearer in the documentation?
