Hmm, I'd rather we not do this.. it conflicts when you use libhal for  
direct
connections I think. It seems you should rather change your program to
pass around a structure with both the LibHalContext* and the
DBusConnection* pointers...

Btw, D-BUS connection is shared within a process so you get the same
one with dbus_bus_get() (unless you use a direct connection but only
hal helpers would do that).

p.s. : I'm not ignoring the Format() methods patch, I just want to  
land the
privilege stuff first...
