I am fine with these patches, but I leave the final say to Johan.

However I do have a general question, do we need the new D-Bus API if we do an auto-reconnect handling? If so, do we need to indicate that the we are currently in auto-reconnect mode and/or cancel it when connecting attempts via other means happen.
