Hi,
the attached piece of code deadlocks when called via sudo but works fine
otherwise. This is probably caused by DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS pointing to a
socket for the session bus of the user calling sudo which is not owned by root.

When using dbus_threads_init_default() or not initializing threads at all it
doesn't deadlock but fails gracefully.

Bye

One workaround is to use dbus_threads_init_default() instead of
dbus_g_threads_init() since the internal thread implementation uses recursive
threading and glib's uses non-recursive.  dbus_g_threads_init should start to
call dbus_threads_init_default() in the future.  We should also fix this code to
work with nonrecursive locks by dropping the lock whenever we call functions
outside of bus.c that may call back into bus.c
