Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2011-12-05 00:21:08 UTC 
would be nice to have a g_bus_get() variant that allowed you to get a ref on a shared bus if it already existed, or returned NULL otherwise.

it would never block, and never fail, and would return immediately -- either with a GDBusConnection, or NULL.

i've found myself wanting this a few times now in situations where i know that the connection already exists (and don't want to make it look like i'm doing a blocking call) or in situations where i want to behave in a certain way, or not, depending on if the bus has already been connected to.
