You don't need to use set_unique_name unless you're actually writing the bus 
daemon or if you're using a non-bus connection.

Yes. You should stop calling dbus_bus_set_unique_name. In a normal connection 
to the session or system buses, the unique name is normally assigned by the 
bus as soon as you connect. Moreover, you can't change it.
