It's not, but that's kind of intentional, to avoid the complexity that
would ensue. I certainly don't want connections to be able to change the
parameters mid-flow (what does it mean to change the password after
you've already connected?), and changing the account name when you
re-connected an account would also require changing the bus name/object
path. It seems like it could be quite complex to implement. What's the
benefit of allowing people to do this versus just creating a new connection?
