Fyi, AT-SPI is using libdbus, not gdbus, though something else 
(gsettings?) might be creating a gdbus connection, since anything inside 
of gio would use it. Are you seeing deadlocks or other problems as a 
result of having multiple libraries using different D-Bus 
connections/implementations? Anyway, porting the lisp bindings may or may 
not help, depending on what you're running into.
