I am not convinced that this will fly, because most apps will just
allocate a single DBusConnection and will expect to be able to reach
all services via it. If in some setups some of the services are actually
on a different bus this would create quite some confusion and developers
would still have to think about the distinction between user and session
which I really want to spare them.
