The namespace for libgio is G like the rest of the code in the GLib
tarball. Why do you think we should call the function g_bus_own_name()
for g_dbus_own_name() or g_dbus_bus_own_name()?

FWIW, we don't call it GIOFile or g_io_file_new() for good reasons (see
the archives when libgio was merged for discussion).
