If at all possible I would recommend using a separate DBusConnection per
thread, or using a single DBusConnection in a "main" thread and posting
requests to that thread from other threads using some thread-safe
communication abstraction like GLib's GMainContext.

libdbus was always designed to be thread-safe, but 15 years after it
was initially implemented we are still finding thread-safety bugs,
so it seems very likely that similar bugs remain present.
