Subject: [DBusConnection] When handling a watch, return if another thread is doing I/O

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2010-March/012337.html

Previously, the watch handler would block until the I/O path was available.
However, if another non-main thread was doing a synchronous call, this would
cause the main thread to block on that thread, a highly undesirable
thing because it's important for the main thread to remain responsive
for user interfaces.
