	Okay, that sounds reasonable. Here's an attempt at that which does it
in a pretty wacky way - the pre-allocated "disconnected" message holds a
ref on the connection so that we can safely dispatch the disconnected
message after removing it from shared_connections even when no users of
the connection currently hold a ref.

	Some of the tests in dbus/bus/dispatch.c are failing, the docs probably
still need updating and we need to nullify the pointer in
bus_connections as well as removing it from shared_connection ... but it
would be good if you could look over it to see if its in the right
direction.

Cheers,
Mark.
