Just make sure the DBusConnection* object that you pass to the function
libhal_ctx_set_dbus_connection() is already integrated into the
mainloop. If you're using a glib style mainloop use
dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main(), if you're using Qt use that
convenience function.

If you write your own mainloop libdbus has hooks for you to integrate
it. For example dhcdbd does this.
