"The server" here is usually the dbus-daemon, unless you're doing
peer-to-peer connections.

Ordinary D-Bus services like Avahi, NetworkManager, PolicyKit,
Telepathy, etc. are considered to be clients for the purposes of
g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync() - they are clients of the
dbus-daemon.

You only need to resort to g_dbus_connection_new() if you want to
listen() and accept() incoming D-Bus connections, like the dbus-daemon does.
